Masons working on the reconstruction of the house of Sam Bahadur and Raghu Katri (33) in the rural area of ward three in Bijulikot, Ramechhap (place where Medair works with the reconstruction project). The Medair technical officers visit the reconstruction places daily to give technical guidance and supervision to the skilled and unskilled masons working on the earthquake resiliant house reconstruction.
Background info: .On 25 April 2015, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal followed by another severe 7.3 magnitude earthquake on 12 May. In the following weeks, persistent and at times significant aftershocks and landslides continued to destroy buildings, infrastructure, and livelihoods, affecting millions of people
According to the Post Disaster Needs Analysis (PDNA) 8,790 people died, 498,852 private houses were fully destroyed and 256,697 private houses were partially damaged throughout 31 districts of which 14 districts have been identified as mostly impacted including Ramechhap district. Ramechhap is one of the most earthquake affected rural districts with 91% of the houses destroyed challenged by its geographic location and underserved by other partner organizations.
Since the beginning of 2016 Medair started the reconstruction project. This project will seek to improve the resilience and safe shelter conditions among earthquake affected households in Bijulikot Village Development Committee (VDC) in Ramechhap district. To accomplish this, Medair will provide technical and financial support for the reconstruction of 310 private houses in wards three and six of Bijulikot that have been destroyed by the Earthquakes in 2015. Additional assistance will be provided to repair and reconstruct household latrine facilities for those households to ensure improved access to sanitation. Reconstruction will take place through an owner driven approach to build back better with support of NGO partner Community Development Society. The technical and financial assistance to homeowners will be complemented through community level PASSA training, mason training, community mobilisation, and hygiene promotion. These activities will take place in all nine wards of Bijulikot Village Development Committee in Ramechhap District. Medair will coordinate this whole project through close partnership with the National Reconstruction Authority, the Chief District Officer, the local communities and local NGO partner Community Development Society.
