HimalayanLife is building a regional school in Yangri, one of the hardest hit areas of Nepal in the 2015 earthquake. After substantial assistance in relief and rebuilding, the key to the future of the area is education. Only if good schooling is available to their children, families will reinvest themselves in the region and truly rise from the ashes, rather than migrating abroad and facing the uncertainties of migrant workers in India or the Gulf countries.

International Rivers has played a key role in supporting civil society networks to understand hydro-power and to be better prepared to fight against bad projects, and advocate for their rivers and livelihoods. IR, along with Oxfam, has been key in supporting thedevelopment and operations of the regional Save the Mekong Coalition, and we continue to play a key convening and capacity buildingrole within that network. As a result of our ongoing campaigning to raise awareness in the region about the valueof the Mekong River and the need to protect this vital resource, regional governments have begun to recognize that critical knowledge gaps still remain in understanding dam impacts, and that timely scientific and economic analysis can help influence decision-making in the politicalrealm.

This gave us an idea to trade solar home lighting systems for baby goats. Your donation will give solar home systems to energy-poor families, living in rural Nepal, and goats to a girl in need.
