Wine to Water Nepal

Initially responding to the earthquake, Wine To Water continues to work in Nepal to address the ongoing problem of water access. Current programs in Nepal are now taking place in the Dahakhani village located in the foothills of northern Chitwan. Because groundwater is inaccessible, villagers daily walk miles to the nearest river to collect contaminated water. The school in this area also cannot sustainably source water from the river, and students cannot practice proper hygiene because the latrines are not functional. These factors have lead to many health problems, especially for students. Projects in this area are focused on gaining water access through well drilling and on educating the community about proper hygiene and sanitation for better health.
