The issue of water in Nepal one year after the earthquake is of real concern for many of the communities Caritas has been speaking to. In the first community we went to in Thokarpa neither the school nor the health centre had water.
Caritas is helping Nepal rebuild after the two devastating earthquakes which hit the country in April and May 2015.
Its main long-term focus is to provide earthquake-proof homes and to ensure Nepalese are prepared if another disaster happens.
Working together with Caritas Nepal, Caritas organisations from around the world are investing €36.4 million over three years on rebuilding homes, fixing water supplies, repairing schools, providing work opportunities and raising awareness in communities about the need to protect vulnerable members.
