Water for 400+ people!

The community and local government have requested our support to build a new drinking water system for 80+ homes. The project will include purchasing and protecting a new water source, allowing the community to have secure access to water year round.

This project will additionally establish efficient and secure distribution of water to each of the 82 households, including more than 400 individuals. This project will be completed in collaboration with the local municipality, a great step in building long-lasting partnerships in the region.

The community has formed committees to manage project design, material procurement, labor and maintenance. This project will be led by our engineer, Krishna Adhikari, who has nearly 20 years of experience building water systems in rural Nepal.

Who does this project support?

The community of Bimire is home to more than 120 households of Rana Magar, Acharya, and Dahal families. This multi-ethnic and diverse area is known for organic agricultural production, and has generations of experience working hard to support each other. The community is further from the main road, which is one reason why the average household income is less than other nearby communities. Conscious Impact is inspired to support this diverse and hard-working community to finally have water taps in their homes.

Our last community project in Bimire was the Siddhartha Primary School we rebuilt in 2016 following the earthquake (our first project!), and we are so excited to once again partner with these community members for a drinking water project that will provide 82 households with safe and secure water access.
