I first visited Nepal in 2002 and have been involved with a number of projects there since.   I have not visited since the earthquake of 2015 when the infrastructure of many areas was damaged so this November 18 people from Jersey are hoping to complete a trek in the Pokhara area to help to finance a Water and Sanitation project in Sarigadanda Village in West Nepal, in a very remote area. At present, the people of Sarigadanda Tallo village are using water from an old collecting tank and stand pipe. This water is badly polluted and increases the risk of water borne diseases. Thus, there is need for a potable, safe, adequate and systematic water project for the village population. The project includes a safe water standpipe for every house and a toilet for every house, thereby reducing open defecation and providing water for washing, and cleaning cooking utensils and clothes. The reason for the Gurkha Welfare Trust being chosen is that we know the project will be completed and to a high standard.
