As one of the world’s poorest countries, Nepal’s economy took a huge hit following the devastating earthquake in 2015 which killed thousands of people and damaged much of its infrastructure.

The Raliegh WASH project works with the community to improve access to clean water and adequate sanitation facilities. During my placement, I could be involved in a variety of activities such as research into current hygiene practices, awareness raising sessions or the construction of handwashing stations and toilets.

This is a great opportunity for me to see another part of the world and to help those in need of clean water and resources.
