Safe home better health
Nepal
It’s no secret that COVID-19 has profoundly impacted all of us. One of the top challenges for Habitat for Humanity Nepal has been operating on a shoestring budget.
To improve housing conditions for an ever-growing number of low-income families, we used innovative, affordable building materials like bamboo to build sustainable houses — we concerted efforts to connect personally with the Government of Nepal to forge strategic collaboration to enhance operations.
In the past year itself, we have managed to build a total of 547 homes. Our revised strategy to leverage at least 50% funds per house from the Government has resulted in four times more funds leveraged than in 2020. A total of 16 million leveraged from the Government.
It is astonishing that despite COVID-19, we have managed to serve 29,947 families to build houses through microfinance loans. The COVID-19 lockdown, in which the Government has requested citizens to stay indoors to stop the spread, has truly highlighted the importance of a safe home; a space with ample space for family members to self-isolate and maintain a safe distance. COVID-19 highlights how a safe home truly can lead to better health.We recommend buying your favorite toothbrush at super low prices with free shipping, and you can also pick up your order at the store on the same day.
