This project focuses on the approximately 6300 Lhomi people living in the remote area of the highlands in northeast Nepal Khandbari and Kathmandu. The main development problems are: extreme poverty very high child + mother mortality no functional healthcar e system and poor education. In addition there are no roads and there is no electricity. The objectives of this project are threefold: - Increase the number of functionally literate children and adults in both Lhomi and Nepali- Provide awareness raising an d training in hygiene and basic healthcare midwifery veterinary skills- Set up 3 pilot MLE preschoolsA conclusive review of all the national policy papers concerning literacy work in Nepal indicates that the objectives and activities of this project are cl early in line with the strategic plans and policies of the government of Nepal. During a meeting in March 2008 between NELHOS the Ministry of Education and the Non Formal Education Centre (NFEC) the government representatives were very interested in the Lh omi project. Additionally Nepal?s most recent PRSP has been used as a reference point to lend more legitimacy to the project?s activities. There are two targets in the PRSP that are directly taken into account through this project:1. To improve literacy ra tes of people over 15 years old2. To increase literacy rates of women and girls over 15 years oldThe project?s ethos is influenced by international development policy objectives including the eradication of poverty through increased education promotion of women?s empowerment and gender equality use of environmentally friendly technology and the promotion of education as a basic human right. NELHOS seeks to improve the economic and social position of the Lhomi people through providing mother tongue education to Nepal?s Lhomi community in combination with vocational training. The link between education and poverty reduction is widely acknowledged in the international community. The project will also give women and girls a second chance to learn to read and wri te in Lhomi and Nepali. Approximately 85% of the project?s participants in the first stage were women, this was very successful.In order to accomplish the project?s objectives the following activities will take place:- Set up community development committe es in 18 villages- Manage an adult literacy program- Set up 3 MLE pilot preschools- Provide vocational training- Build NELHOS?s capacities

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal in between Kathmandu and Pokhra. The epicenter was 30 km east-south-east of Lamjung district. The earthquake has caused a number of landslides and avalanches. Strong aftershocks, including a 6.7 magnitude quake on 26 April, continued to threaten the lives of thousands of people and to further damage buildings and infrastructure. Many people are afraid and have slept outside for several consecutive nights, in spite of the falling rain. According to UN, it is estimated that over 8 million people are affected in 39 of Nepal’s 75 districts. Over 2 million people live in the 11 most critically hit districts. CRS has committed resources to relief efforts and has requested Caritas to begin procuring emergency relief materials such as tarpaulins/shelter kits and water, sanitation and hygiene materials. CRS is also looking at transporting materials from India to Nepal and has contacted the UN Hub in Dubai to request options for humanitarian supply flights from Dubai. Caritas Nepal launched a response in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Distribution of supplies, including food packages, tarpaulins, have already occurred. Through grassroots organisations and partner CBOs, and the ability to mobilise a high number of volunteers, Caritas Nepal is well placed to deliver an immediate relief and subsequent recovery programme. The scale of the disaster and the willingness of Caritas organisations to respond necessitates a rapid response through this appeal. This response will meet urgent needs in shelter, WASH, and non-food items. A follow up full Emergency Appeal will be prepared to include a comprehensive recovery strategy. The funding from this appeal will ensure Caritas Nepal can continue relief operations- focused primarily on immediate shelter needs non-food items, with a focus on provision of water and hygiene kits in 7 of the worst affected districts. 4 new district offices and warehouses will be established to coordinate and manage the response. CAFOD has since responded to the relief efforts and has deployed a number of staff to the country. Our response will focus on WASH, shelter and protection components.

The unseasonal rainfall in October 2021 has impacted a huge loss in terms of seed production and the livelihood of the Farmer Seed Enterprise (FSE) members that are being supported through the Sowing Diversity = Harvesting Security (SD=HS) Program in the Sudurpaschim province in Nepal. A total of 137 MT of paddy and 3.8 MT of vegetable seed has been damaged. A total of 69 seed producers members from the FSEs has been severely impacted due to the catastrophic climatic events. The seed producers and other local farmers fearfor their food security, as paddy is the main staple crop. Likewise, it is anticipated that there will be an overall shortage of paddy seeds in 2022. The majority of the paddy seeds of early to medium rice varieties were damaged all over Nepal. The loss of the seed production, together with damages to its infrastructure has also caused a negative impact on the sustainability of the FSEs. Theymay fail to recover their investment in the paddy and other crops seeds and are likely to have a shortage of working capital next season for the purchase of foundation seeds and fertilizers. The SD=HS program will support the FSE in procuring enough foundation seeds of paddy for seed production in the coming season. However, there is a need of immediate support in building resilience and improving coping strategies of these farmer communities for the future in the advent of natural disasters. Project proposal With the donation of the Kihle Fund, Oxfam in Nepal and LI-BIRD will support the flood-affected farmers that work with the SD=HS Program in the Sudurpachim province of Nepal. Specific activities will be carried out over the next year to realize the following objectives. Objectives: 1. To support flood and landslide affected seed producers to recover from the damage from the 2021 rainfall 2. To strengthen the disaster coping mechanism of the community members for future similar occurrences 3. To strengthen the capacity of Farmer's Seed Enterprises to provide seed producers with safe seed storage, market, and financial services. Major Activities proposed: - Establishment and management of a Disaster Coping Fund - Development and implementation of a Community Based Disaster Preparedness Plan and Early Warning System - Mechanization of threshing and scaling up safe seed storage capacity:
