Rural Nepal Sirubari Farmers
My name is Santi Regmi, I live in Walling VDC, ward no. 7, Sirubari. There are 8 members in my family. My day starts with household chores then, I have 3 children so I have to send them to school. Our source of income is agriculture, I grow tomatoes.
I have experienced a significant difference after the installation of Solar MUS. Previously, we had to carry pots to get water in the morning which we don't have to do so anymore. Now we get water from the tap nearby our house. Before, we had to wake up an hour early which we don't have to anymore.
The earthquake destroyed my home but everybody in my family are safe. The local authorities recorded my home as 'completely damaged' but when they gave us the card, it was for 'partially damaged'. I haven't claimed relief from that card. Instead, I have re-applied stating that my house is completely damaged. Those authorities have already come and gone but the police said they would come to check which till now, they haven’t. So I haven't received any relief yet. My concern is regarding no help for the damaged caused by the earthquake. Others in the village have received support but I haven't.
I am very happy with the solar system. Solar has provided better access to water, we have been able to do vegetable farming nearby our house. Water supply is sufficient. Even though it is limited for a large scale farming, we can grow enough vegetables for our family.
