Summary

[edit]
Description

More than 1,500 of the poorest families in one of the most remote parts of the world are working to lift themselves out of poverty with support from the British Government. Farmers across Nepal have been given help buying seeds, offered advice on growing vegetables and helped build wells to irrigate their crops. They are from isolated communities where 38% of people live below the poverty line and are often forced to walk more than two hours to their nearest made road.

The Community Support Programme, now in its tenth year, is providing a life line for rural people – allowing them to grow and sell crops to feed their families, send their children to school and pay for healthcare. It is part of a larger programme that is bringing services to communities across Nepal. As well as help in growing crops, families are being given support to set up and grow their own businesses and 1,000 youngsters are being trained so they can find a job.

More than 2,800 communities have already benefitted from improved school facilities with more than 1,000 other earthquake resistant community buildings also due to be built.
