Construction of a toilet for a youth-run community library Ref: 45.00 Where is this project needed? Dang, Nepal Who needs help with this? A local volunteer youth organisation in Tribhuwan nagar Ghorahi How will my support help? This local volunteer youth organisation has set up a library on a very limited budget. They have achieved this with the generosity of the local community in Tribhuwan. This library has been set up to benefit the community especially the local school children by improving access to a wider range of books. However, this is a poor community and the facilities at the library are very limited. There is currently no toilet facility which presents a problem for visitors and staff to the library. Diarrhoea is a major problem that still kills children in Nepal and poor sanitation is a major contributing factor. The investment of the community shows how important the library facility is to them, and they recognise the need for adequate sanitation facilities. They are willing to contribute the labour needed to construct the toilet but not able to afford the materials or expertise needed. Your support with this project will help reduce some of the health risks for this community, improve sanitation conditions and help promote the use of the library. This library also needs support with building a toilet facility. Please click here Cost Breakdown All items are bought in Nepal; to reduce costs and to support the local economy.
