Youth for Better Nepal ( a non-profit organization affiliated to the Social Welfare Council, Nepal and are pursuant to section 13 of the Social Welfare Act, 1992.)
puts forward the proposition to provide a total of 50 Solar Panels to the villagers of Chuga village in Mugu district.

Mugu is one of the most remote and undeveloped districts of mid-western Nepal. Most of Mugu is ragged lands, craggy hills and mountains. A hint of modern development can be seen in Gamagadhi: the district headquarters which was recently touched by the only road in the district. Southern Mugu is relatively green and has arable soil, but like most parts of the Mugu, nothing grows in the Himalayas. Known for Rara Lake -the largest lake of the country- most of Mugu has abundant natural beauties. However, the human socio-economic condition of this district is the worst among others. Many villages lack health care centers and schools. Sick people being carried in dokos are a common sight in villages. Little children walk hours to reach school. And the household spend all day in the field, carrying out all of the work manually even though the world has leapt bounds in agricultural technology.

The targeted area of our project is Pina-04, Chuga, which takes about four hours to reach by foot from Gamgadhi. There are about 500 people in this village dominated by Dalits: a marginalized community due to the so-called category of low-castes. People in this area do not have the energy or resources for high expectations and goals in their life. They are simply struggling to make their ends meet. They do not have any income sources and from an early age young children are expected by their families to help in domestic works. As an alternative, youth are compelled to do odd jobs in India. This trend has left villages with only the elderly and children.

Being an independent organization, the only source of income for these projects are our supporters and well wishers, who also care for the well-being of the general people. Hence, we would be extremely grateful if you provided us with any financial or technical help possible, for the charitable activities we intend to conduct.
