Meeting with Nepal Cornerstone

The Amarapur Early Child Development Centre acts as a kindergarten, and offers training in various crafts to women to enable them to generate their own income.

Their members are also getting involved in an emerging Bungamati Reconstruction Committee. Similarly to Khokana’s committee, it will draft a reconstruction plan and attempt to find alternatives to the government’s insufficient funds. Concerns about heritage loss are also present, but because of the lack of funding, the committee’s members have little hope families will be able to rebuild their houses in a traditional manner.
