Katunge village to achieve a better and sustainable future out of poverty:
Ever since the earthquake had hit Nepal and largely destroyed Katunge Village, it has been Future Village's main goal to not only help Katunge Village back to the stage where it once was, but even beyond that! Our aim is to help the people of
The first months after the earthquake our support was marked by proving disaster relief and securing the safety and health of the citizens of katunge village and beyond. In this period fundraising campaigns have taken place in numerous countries, which made it possible to provide that what was needed the most. We distributed in collaboration with local NGO's food, liquid, relief funds, material and shelter to almost a thousand families. Besides that we have sent volunteers who provided health care and assisted the village in cleaning and making the area safe again. Since education has always been our main focus, we made sure that all children in the area could continue their educational paths.
From September onwards we shifted our focus from disaster relief to reconstruction. Being closely involved with local NGO's and earthquake effected rural areas in Nepal, we came increasingly aware of the fact that international organisations will not help rebuilding rural villages. Ever since the earthquake big NGO's have shown very little interest in the rural area's that were impacted by the earthquake and have provided no or minimum support to these areas. With no perspective of the Nepalese government being able to help all areas, the rural areas of Nepal rely mostly on local and small NGO's for support. If those small organisations will not continue help rebuilding houses and public facilities, nobody will. Well aware of this Future Village decided to start the ambitious rebuilding Project Chance. Not only to secure a sustainable and better future for the wonderful people of katunge Village, but also as an encouragement, prototype and motivation for other NGO's and people to help other rural villages.
We belief that small initiatives can make a big difference. This has been always our motivation for what we have achieved and it will always be our motivation to achieve more. Below you can find the timeline of what we have achieved and what the will hope to achieve.
