Building toilets in Attarpur

Donation protected


I've been working on community development projects in Nepal since 2010. Since the 2015 earthquakes the need for support as increased dramatically and as a small NGO we're stretched to the limit.

Attarpur is a small village east of Kathmandu in Nepal. We run a school nutrition program in the village. In 2015 it was largely destroyed by the earthquakes and the aftershocks. The rebuilding process has been 3 years and counting and this year the villagers have started rebuilding their lives and homes.  

As unglamorous as it sounds, well-built toilets are fundamental to community health as they are the primary means to keep human waste from the watershed. Which is where you come in.

We need to rebuild 90 toilets at a material cost of $300.00 per toilet. 

What does $300 buy? $300 buys the cement for the floor and for the stone liner and walls for the toilet. It also pays for the wood, hinges, new toilet pan and tin for the roof. 

As with rebuilding homes, all labour is done by the villagers themselves.


New foundations rise from materials recycled from the homes that were destroyed.

We've arranged to get the funds to one of our in-country partners who will help arrange the purchase of the materials and having them trucked into the village. We still need your help to raise the money.

Help us help the village recover.
