A sponsorship program through a humanitarian association has been opened in 2007 to alleviate the difficulties of indebted families and encourage children's schooling.

#HelpBasaNepal
Facing the global health crisis, we offer to help at least 70 families (490 people) from the village again.
Face à la crise sanitaire mondiale, nous proposons d'aider à nouveau au moins 70 familles (490 personnes) du village.
Indeed, this spring in the village of Basa in Nepal, a real disaster has already started because tourists no longer come to Nepal.
If the borders are still closed at fall many people will find themselves in great difficulty.
Our local partner, Niru RAI and his team, have been helping those who need it most and who can no longer afford to eat for more than 13 years.
We do know very well that there is no compensation, no unemployment allowances, so the guides, assistants, porters, cooks who earned their living in a few weeks of work and fed dozens of mouths with their wages and tips only. will no longer be able to do so.
En effet, ce printemps dans le village de Basa au Népal, une vraie catastrophe à déjà commencé car les touristes ne viennent plus au Népal.
Si à l’automne les frontières sont toujours fermées de nombreuses personnes vont se trouver en grande difficulté.
Notre partenaire sur place, Niru RAI et son équipe, aide depuis plus de 13 années ceux qui en ont le plus besoin et qui n’ont déjà plus les moyens de se nourrir.
Nous savons fort bien qu’il n’y a ni indemnisation, ni chômage, donc les guides, les assistants, les porteurs, les cuisiniers qui gagnaient leur année en quelques semaines de travail et nourrissaient des dizaines de bouches avec leurs seuls salaires et pourboires ne pourront plus le faire.
Niru RAI said :
"I would like to help the people who can not work in this 2020 for porter and trekking staff and difficult to survive their life and some for our new project, I will do let you know everything by make list and photos of given to them".
See hereafter the Basa project, in three steps :
1) After the lockdown (planned 14/6/20), foods will be sent into Basa village (rice, dal, cooking oil ...)
See hereafter first estimate (70 families) :
- 2 100 kg rice (100 Rps*30 kg/family, 70 bags) : 210 000 Rps (*)
- 210 kg Dal (170*3 kg/family, 70 bags) : 35 700 Rps
- 140 l. Cooking oil (190 Rps* 2 l./family*70) : 26 600 Rps
Transportations :
- For rice from Sallery (Solu) to basa : 8500 Rps
- From Kathmandu to Basa : no charge (the trekking agency, will take its own jeep)
Miscellaneous : 1 500 Rps ...
We also plan to add salt, soap and sanitary pad
25 Rps/Kg+ 35 + 550 = 610*70 = 42 700 Rps (around 310 €)
(*) Rice will be first delivered from Sallery to Basa ASAP. It's the high priority.
Total for 70 families : 325 000 Rps (2300 €)
2)Add 30 families more :
For the present time : 13 are already added
3)Distributes the donations to all families into Basa (490 people) to provide a part of salary.
Depend on the amount of donations for the previous step.
See the testimony of Kanchan about the situation in Népal.
"It's true that most of people of Nepal lie below poverty line. They hardly earn to feed themselves and their family.
They cannot even save money for future and cannot spend on their children education and healthy lifestyle. At this present scenario daily wage workers are helpless.
They say "it's better to die of corona virus then because of hunger".
Those people really need help to join hand and mouth untill they can go back to work normally.
Lets do our possible help Donate and share and help."
If you’d like to help them, you can contribute by donating.
We deep heartedly thank you for your kind generosity towards these people at this time.
We want you to know that your generous effort towards this will make a real difference.

Niru RAI indique ci-dessous la liste des projets depuis 2007.
"We have been success many different projects for our village like : school, medicine store, drinking water project, trail project, tree planting and we give for all the village the tin ruff after earthquake and many others projects."
Grâce à ce partenariat, de nombreux projets ont pu être réalisés, en voici quelques exemples :
1) Agrandissement de l'école
Les 3 nouvelles salles de classe avaient permis d'accueillir tous les enfants en âge d'être scolarisés. Ces enfants n'étaient tout simplement pas scolarisés en raison de l'isolement du village. Se rendre à l'école la plus proche impliquant des déplacements longs et dangereux. Depuis les effectifs ont grossi chaque année.
2) L'alphabétisation des femmes
Très souvent, les populations rurales sont peu ou pas instruites, très peu de personnes adultes ayant eu accès à l'éducation scolaire. Force est de constater que les femmes constituent la tranche la plus analphabète de cette population. Impliquer les femmes dans l'amélioration des conditions de vie, pas uniquement comme bénéficiaires mais aussi comme vecteurs, nécessite au préalable qu'elles acquièrent des bases permettant des prises de conscience de leurs valeurs, de leurs potentiels.
Pour cela, des cours d'alphabétisation ont été mis en place. Ils ont pour but de former et aider les femmes à devenir les actrices du développement du monde rural, de leur propre épanouissement et de celui de leur famille. Pour faire face aux conséquences de la crise sanitaire mondiale, nous vous sollicitons pour aider ce village.
cf. articles sur la situation au Népal
"Cinq ans après le terrible séisme qui tua près de 9.000 personnes au Népal, le pays est mis à terre par une nouvelle catastrophe, la pandémie de covid-19. Pourtant, les stigmates de 2015 étaient toujours là. Car en 2020, un quart des écoles et 40% des habitations détruites n'ont pas encore été reconstruites ..."

"This is the Reality! This is the conversation we would see if we could step outside our boundaries today.
This is what we have been seeing. Today, I wont blame anyone.
But, I wish the government would realise that a big group is left behind because our policy couldn't fit them in.
Those who don't have home, those without citizenship ,those whose landlords won't give them the papers necessary for getting government support, those who got rice bags but haven't had gas for days to cook them in, those who don't have a single rupee in the pocket, those who have special needs, those who are in the city hospitals and have been too broke for food or shelter, those who spent all of their savings, those who have lost their jobs.
At least 60 Lakh people are said to have been jobless due to the pandemic, we don't know for sure how long it might take to rebuild the economy.
This struggle, sadly, won't end even after the lockdown for many"
