“Little Poland in Nepal” Foundation and our actions <\/strong><\/h2>\n

First action of “Little Poland in Nepal”<\/strong> was rebuilding of Dumre village, Nuwakot district, Sunkhani region – 29 km from Kathmandu. The village was completely destroyed. Most of the buildings collapsed after the earthquake. It was not possible to renovate the remaining ones, they needed to be made from the scratch to allow 100 people lead normal life in a safe environment. Some of the houses belong to trekking guides and porters who were connected to the founders of Little Poland in Nepal before the earthquake. The houses in the village are built in a simple way: wooden frame, stones or bricks, clay mortar with some cement (mainly for the base). Initial cost of such a house was estimated at 5000 USD, school rebuilding cost – 15 000 USD and Dumre total rebuilding cost- 100 000 USD. However the situation changed after 22 September 2015 when India blocked the border with Nepal and stopped delivering fuel, gas, medicines and food. The prices of food, building materials and many more rose. It was possible to buy fuel only on black market for 5 USD per litre. Our initial calculations were inadequate. India cancelled blocking the border in February but high prices remained. Although we face many difficulties that we haven’t foreseen, the project continues. “Little Poland in Nepal” Foundation coordinator in Dumre is Sujan Pandey. He is responsible for organizing and buying building materials, architectural design, food and supplies for volunteers. He is supervising construction site, talking to villagers, local stakeholders and other parties, he also works together with the Neplaese people if needed . Magdalena Pietruszka-Pandey supports him from the office, taking care of  informative policy, PR, communicating with the patrons, sponsors, media, volunteers, donators and all supporters of Little Poland. We want as many people as possible to share our idea of helping Nepali citizens who need support. In another words\u2026 Let’s do it!<\/p>\n

First component:<\/strong> building drinking water container for Dumre inhabitants<\/p>\n

After the earthquake all the water springs in Dumre were destroyed. They were uncovered, cleaned and closed in a 7000l flow water container. The money – 20 000 PLN – was collected among Sujan and Magda’s  friends in May 2015, the work started on 14 June. Citizens of Dumre village, hydraulic engineers and builders were working together. The main water tank consists of three flow water containers and water pipes delivering water to the village. Everything was finished on August 2015.<\/p>\n
