What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference

we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the

life we lead.

Introduction

The 2015 Nepal Earthquake on April 25th and May 12th left in

its aftermath a trail of destruction of enormity, and the loss of

many lives and properties.

The devastation led to a death toll of approximately 9,000,

injuring more than 22,000 people and affected 8 million

people, destroying and damaging over 750,000 homes.

Thousands have been rendered displaced, hungry and

bereaved. Centuries of culture and tradition slipped away.

The epicentre of the May 12th earthquake was the in the VDC

of Tatopani, which is located in the Sindhupalchowk Districtnortheast of Kathmandu near the Tibetan/Chinese border. All

14 villages here were severely impacted with approximately

1200 people displaced.

There is an emergent need of urgent recovery from the deep

psychological scars that they have been exposed to. There is

an immediate need to relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction and

restoration.

All these villages lost everything

Background

The villages that make up the Tatopani VDC area are reputed

for their rich scenic beauty and equally splendid cultural

heritage and strong traditions.

With an ethnically diverse social milieu, the Sherpas,

Tamangs, Dalits, Chhetris and Brahmins have been

coexisting in 14 neighboring villages for over five centuries.

The basis of the economy has historically been subsistence

farming and agriculture and, recently, tourism. Tourism

became a significant part of the economy as tourists

discovered the potential of the place in terms of the wealth of

natural beauty, culture and heritage with warm and welcoming

people.

The area is knitted together by a string of jewels including

Bhairav Kunda (Holy Lake) and the 160 year old Duguna

Gardi (Fort) along with extraordinary views of the nearby

Himalayan peaks to the north. The villages form a tight-knit

community and the people are rich in cultural traditions and

heritage.

Camp Hope

The earthquakes unleashed a stream of traumatic and

disastrous consequences. They forced around 60% of the

villagers to flee villages and to take shelter in temporary

camps in Sindhupalchowk, Kathmandu and its vicinity.

Dwarikas Foundation, Mission Portugal and their friends

formed a partnership, which began as immediate relief,

distributing food and other aid to over 55,000 people. An IDP

camp for 350 affected people was established in Boudha in

the heart of Kathmandu on an old football field, now called

Camp Hope. The rest of the 1,181 people from Tatopani,

Sindhupalchowk are in other IDP camps.

The partners are now involved in managing and caring for the

people ofCamp Hope. The purpose is not only giving shelter

but providing a transitional home where the people feel safe

and can live in dignity until they are able to return to their

villages. The Camp is composed of 18 sleeping tents, a

monastery, an office, a medical tent, a library, a study area, a

hand work/adult literacy tent, a big and a small kitchen, a

dinning area, a food store and an open space for leisure

activities.

Besides the basic needs such as food, health and shelter, thepartners also provide literacy and sustainability programs and

skills that will be incremental in the building and development

of their future villages (masonry, plumbing, electrician and

carpentry). 81 children and youth have been enrolled in the

nearby Samata School and College.

Everybody is starting to rebuild their lives.

Dream Village

The villagers dream is to return to their home and to

reconstruct stronger and safer (complying with seismic codes),

homes and villages that are self sustaining. They also dream

of saving their rich cultural heritage and traditions of over fivehundred years.

The aim is to rebuild their 14 villages in 6 different locations

with 222 homes. Initially, homes with 2 rooms will be built. But

design and construction will allow for safely future expansion

according to their needs and desires and taking into account

the coming generations.

Villages will be sustainable with biogas systems, solar power,rainwater catchment systems and other renewable energies.

Shared facilities include: a school, health clinic, community

hall, water system and a place of worship.

It is critical to ensure that these people will be financially

stable by teaching marketable skills and helping them to

develop tourism which is a vital source of income.
