HealthEd Connect's volunteers recently trekked to visit Rai village in Nepal. Rai was completely destroyed by the 2015 earthquake. Because government aid has not reached these outlying villages, the members of this community are still residing in fragile temporary housing that cannot keep out the cold or the monsoon rains, leading to many health issues. Our volunteers interviewed the villagers to determine their primary needs, and this information will be the basis for our future projects in Nepal.
Pinkey Malla reports on the needs in this community:
"The most need in community is toilets because there are 15 family who are living in temporary house still in village and only three toilets are there. In rain and in night there is very much difficult to go toilet and for children and sick persons also its hard. There is school near by but because of not have dress, school bag, copy books, pencil children are not going school."
