| Project Name: | Humanitarian Assistance to the Vulnerable Communities of Remote Hill districts of Far Western Development Region, Nepal |
| Project Description: |
| The Humanitarian Assistance to the Vulnerable Communities Project areas is in Baitadi and Doti Districts, of Far Western Development Region Nepal. The project aims to provide immediate, visible and positive impact on the lives of vulnerable communities in same districts of Nepal through improved access to clean drinking water and sanitation. CARE anticipates reaching out to 880 households including Dalits (so called law caste, marginalized groups) (approximately 5220 people) and an additional 1.750 school children through the rehabilitation/construction of drinking water systems and toilet at the community level and in schools. Baitadi and Darchula districts are not only one of the most remote but also one of the poorest areas in far western Nepal. The districts are also considered as the heartland of Maoist movement and consequently continues being one of the most vulnerable districts in terms of security. The project will give priority to rehabilitation/construction of drinking water systems in communities that have a majority of Dalit households however small the community may be. At all times project staff will ensure that there are equitable representation of women and Dalits in the user committees and if possible have positive disproportionate representation of women. The expected results of the project are increased access of people to basic services, particularly drinking water and sanitation, increased capacity of communities in management of community drinking water systems and increased awareness of communities on water borne diseases and personal hygiene. |
