Nepal Trust News
Our Nepal Trust project a 5 year project was completed in October last year at a cost of 50,0000 and this project brings electricity to the village of Lali which is in the Humla District of North-West Nepal.
This will is a 25kW micro-hydro project.It will bring electricity, home lighting, improved food production, sawmills and oil presses, and not least power and light for the 1,800 who live in the Lali Village and surrounding area.
This has been a very significant project, not least because of the political uncertainty and the Maoist guerrillas operating in the region. This is an exceptionally remote area and is 14 days' walk from the nearest road-head in Nepal.
The project was a truly International Project which our Club principally financed and we had support from Rotary Foundation, together with our good Rotary friends at link clubs in France, Holland and Germany. Those members of our Club fit enough will be involved in the "Trek to Electrify" where for a week or so Rotarians will help in implementing the project activities.
