Project Description Region: Asia Country: Nepal Location: Gaindakot Total Budget: $35,200 Areas of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene, Community economic development All 22 families of Jagannath village of Gaindakot municipality are dependent on a spring source water supply through gravity flow system cum lifting system with dangling pipes. The system is unreliable, upper cluster people are fetching water from dangling pipes at downstream of the village, which takes around 1 hour to bring a trip of water. The source water becomes very turbid during rainy season and less quantity in dry season (March-May), there is no any kind of water purifications. In the dry months (March-May), people go to the nearby stream and other temporary spring water sources to fetch water. There are only 5 temporary toilets in the village and families share these toilets. All families use firewood for cooking and boiling water. The main objective of this project is to provide safe drinking water and sanitation, micro-irrigation, smokeless cooking stoves and toilet facilities to 22 families of Jagannath village, Gaindakot-3, Nawalpur district through the lead host club, Rotary Club of Gaindakot and we are searching for an international sponsor club to fund for this global grant project. The proposed solutions to address the demand of the Jagannath community are (i) supplying purified drinking water to all households through private yard connections, the water will be lifted by solar hybrid pumping system from the 16,000 liters capacity sump well to the uphill 20,000 liters storage tank (ii) construction of 22 numbers of permanent toilets and hygiene and sanitation campaigning for sustainable hygiene behavior change (iii) vegetables farming by using tap water through micro-irrigation through drip and sprinkler irrigation systems and (iv) promotion of smokeless cooking stoves. The expected outputs of this project will be in two folds; (1) health benefits from WASH and smokeless stoves project and (2) economic development by commercial vegetable farming through micro-irrigation system. The Rotary Club of Gaindakot will contribute cash of 1,500 USD and the club is in need of around 33,700 USD.
