Renewable energy systems such as solar lamps and portable cooking stoves were distributed to the inhabitants of the village Brabal. This great contribution was organized by Atmosfair (www.atmosfair.de), a German organisation for climate protection and an American Brice Hoskin (developer of Ganesha cooking stove). Thank you very much!
A future project that we are very much concerned about is environmental protection. Consciousness for the environment is very low in Nepal. Therefore it is very important that children are already made aware of this at school. A first step was taken with the dustbins for the schools in Thulo Barkhu and Thulo Shafru. Support from the state for environmental protection projects is not to be expected. For this reason, Sunaulo Sansar wants to do more in this respect. At the moment we are in the process of developing an environmental concept that can be implemented in the schools. Any ideas and suggestions are very welcome.
Nepal is one of the countries in the world with the highest illiteracy rate. 50% of the population cannot read or write. It is compulsory for the children to go to school, but very often, children in the remote areas are needed to work in the home or in the fields.
In many of the mountain villages there is no running water. There is a lack of baths and possibilities for washing oneself in the villages that do not lie directly on the known trekking routes.
Good health is a valuable asset. In the remote regions of Nepal, a medical infrastructure and medical care are, however, inadequate.
