In the remote, mountain villages of Nepal’s Makwanpur District, only 27% of the population has access to safe, clean water.
For generations, families—primarily women and children—have spent hours every single day trekking down steep, perilous cliffs to fetch water from uncovered natural springs. This backbreaking daily chore keeps children out of school and prevents adults from pursuing income-generating opportunities. Worse yet, untreated water sources lead to high rates of waterborne illness, one of the leading causes of death for children under five in Nepal.
Elevate Nepal is changing this narrative. Through our Makwanpur Rural Community Development Project, we build long-lasting infrastructure that delivers clean running water, biogas sanitation, and electricity directly to homes for the first time in history.
Our Proven Impact
Since launching this initiative in 2021, Elevate Nepal has completed comprehensive infrastructure installations across multiple mountain villages, transforming entire communities from the ground up.
Community Milestone | Impact Achieved |
|---|---|
Homes Serviced | 210+ households equipped with private water taps and electricity |
Lives Transformed | 1,700+ villagers with permanent access to safe drinking water |
School Sanitation | 100+ primary students provided with 3 school taps and 5 new toilets |
Our Next Goal: Expanding to Jyandrung & Syansirang
We are expanding our infrastructure to the adjacent mountain ridgeline, targeting the remote villages of Jyandrung and Syansirang.
- The Scope: 88 households, home to 438 residents.
- The Need: Villagers currently walk over an hour each way to fetch water, have limited electricity access, and lack proper sanitation systems.
- The Solution: A complete gravity-fed water delivery system, 88 private household water taps, 88 latrines, and complete electrical hookups.
- Project Cost: $265,238 total cost for engineering, materials, and local skilled labor.
Your support today directly funds the building materials, engineering, and local skilled labor required to bring clean water and dignity to these 88 families.
