Future plans

July 31, 2016

After securing the financing for the roofs, we faced the question of what we wanted in the future. So we considered how we could invest the money wisely.

Building another village would be tempting, but we're also realistic and know that it only worked so well thanks to the close connection to Bhumesthan. We've also grown very fond of this village and all its inhabitants. So we've come up with two ideas that we think make sense.

Medical assistance

The residents of Bhumesthan are very poor. Since the nearest hospital is about a seven-hour walk away, these people rarely see a doctor.
Our goal is to support the population until the government provides better medical care. We have already been able to help one boy and pay for an important eye operation.

School fees for girls

Although Nepal is changing, traditional customs remain deeply rooted in rural areas. For example, it is still common practice in poor villages to marry off girls at 16 after they finish primary school. We want to challenge this practice.
