Chouri Kharka, Namche and Khumjung VDCs of Solukhumbu District, Nepal<\/h3>\n

1. Background:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The massive earthquake of 7.9 magnitudes struck in Nepal on 25 April 2015, followed by a series of aftershocks up to a magnitude of 6.7 affected 51 districts. Over 8,600 lives have been lost till this date and over 18,000 people injured. Millions of people, mostly in the hilly areas of Nepal are made homeless. 288,798 buildings are fully damaged, and 254,112 are partially damaged.<\/p>\n

The Khumbu region in Mt. Everest region also has a considerable number of damages occurred to many local houses, community centers, heritage sites, schools, medical centers have been ruined by this devastating hit.<\/p>\n

Following chart shows the damage assessment carried out by the government in these 3 Village Development Committees (VDCs):<\/p>\n

a. 835 full damage houses<\/p>\n

Out of above 835 fully damaged houses, we have selected only 140 houses for the reconstruction as other 695 houses belongs to the people who are capable to pay for their reconstruction of their own houses or got supported by other individuals or organizations. We plan to rebuild only 140 houses that belong to the people who cannot offer to rebuild at all.<\/p>\n

b. 834 partial damage houses
\nWe also have selected 81 houses for the partial damaged houses for the renovation as the other 200 houses belongs to the people who are capable to pay for the cost of reconstruction for their own houses. We plan to renovate only 200 houses that belongs the houses under the poverty line.<\/p>\n

c. Affected houses
\nd. 4 Partially affected houses<\/p>\n

We do not have any plan to support the houses of both affected and partially affected houses as these houses do not cost much to renovate.<\/p>\n

The above chart is not listed the following public properties which is a real essential to rebuild as these are the places where the local Sherpas practices their ritual life, taking the education of their children and medicating them when they are under any kind of poor health reasons.<\/p>\n

The Khumbu region is also badly affected by the devastated earthquake to the public properties where the local Sherpas are facing problems in sending their children to school, in using medication facilities in hospitals, practicing the ritual ceremonies in monasteries now. The most important help Khumbu requires now is reconstruction of the public properties as the public properties are the one where all the locals are involved for the education, medication and ritual practices.<\/p>\n

As of now, Himalayan Sherpa Foundation have completed the \u201cfirst phase\u201d of action which was to provide immediate relief such as temporary shelters by providing tents, rice, mosquito net, lentil, cooking oil and salt to the villages of Solu Khumbu, Kathmandu and Kavre district. German Red Cross has also kindly provided us with 200 tents as we have delivered them to the local villages of ChouriKharka Namche and Khumjung Village Development Committee (VDC). Himalayan Sherpa Foundation has temporarily closed down the immediate relief action of distributing foods except the most urgent places. HSF has taken its action forward with the project of \u201creconstruction and rehabilitation\u201d of local settlement in Khumbu region.<\/p>\n

We have done our surveying action and found the project which we plan to complete within the year of 2017 May. We have visited all the badly affected area for the collection of data in Khumbu region and have observed them carefully. We have used the local clubs and forums for the finalizing the project we have seen and plan to accomplish them. We have pictures of the earthquake devastation in the region along with the data in the following pages. The foundation has examined and assessed the report and then evaluated the total cost for the projects based on its resources and potential opportunities to decide on rehabilitation and reconstruction of the houses, schools, hospitals and monasteries in the villages of Khumbu. Now we have clear picture of partially and fully damaged public as our further project to launch. We have eliminated partially damaged projects as any one of other donors can help in such lighter projects but have selected several of public and private fully damaged properties so that the locals of Khumbu can benefit properly from this project and also to let them to feel safe, relief, comfortable and enjoy their daily life as normal as before.<\/p>\n

During our first phase of project, we have been active in providing immediate relief materials like medicine, food, tents, tine for the roof and materials for the basic need in school. We have got chance to distribute the tents donated by the Asia Foundation, German Red Cross and Halesi Mani Committee along with Mahendra Jyoti Ex-Student Forum. With the continuous support from our team of volunteers who are working tirelessly, made our first phase of delivering immediate help to the local people in Solu Khumbu, Kathmandu and Kavre Palanchok been successful. As you can imagine, the earthquake left a devastating impact in our country destroying many houses, schools, hospitals and monasteries. I would like to thank all our donors, members of Himalayan Sherpa Adventure, board executives and members of foundation, volunteers involved in distribution of immediate relief and collection of details.<\/p>\n

Due to the earthquake, the avalanche washed out the Everest base camp killing 16 Nepalese and 4 foreign climbers and injured more than 200 climbers. All the dead bodies were evacuated and injured climbers were rescued back to Kathmandu and most of the climbers went back to their home after some medication in Kathmandu. Many of the Sherpas passed away due to the avalanche taken place in Everest BC and also due to the earthquake; many poor Sherpa families lost everything what they have so that they cannot send their children to school. This foundation is also planning to have a basket fund for the scholarship to the children suffered from the above cause. We plan to take the children from the very poor family who lost their parent from either the earthquake or casualties taken place in Everest BC.<\/p>\n

For the above projects of reconstruction of houses of poor Sherpa\u2019s and public properties such as schools, hospitals and monasteries, we have requested our Honorary Tourim Goodwill Ambassador to Chian for Nepal to assist the projects we plan to run ahead to facilitate the locals of Khumbu. The Sherpas of Khumbu are very lucky to have such great and world renowned climbers within us who has been helping the region in former days and also planning in the days coming. This foundation takes pleasure being together with Mrs. Wang Jing to take care of the dream project of Mrs. Jing in Khumbu for the materialization.<\/p>\n

Again, we would like to thank all our friends and well wishers for their continuous support in these times of difficulty. We really appreciate you for being there when we were in need and hope that you can continuously provide support in the future in any way possible. Due to the earthquake, many kids are unable to go to school so it is right time that we provide them with this opportunity and encourage them to continue with their school. Now we need your major part of support for our \u201csecond phase\u201d of project in which we plan to work on rebuilding and rehabilitating the infrastructures and we hope to receive continuing support from our partnering friends. We appreciate you for your strong and kind help in bringing the life of all survivors back to normal by rebuilding the infrastructures such as houses, schools, hospitals and monasteries.<\/p>\n

Please kindly find the following statistical data and pictures at the bottom, which shows our project which has been destroyed by the devastated earthquake April and May 2015.<\/p>\n

2. Organization background<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Himalayan Sherpa Foundation is a non-profit organization formed in 2013. The idea came from the managing director of Himalayan Sherpa Adventure to use some of 5 percent of its profit to the development of Khumbu region. The main reason to form this foundation is to provide better education in Khumbu, to protect the culture, religion and the heritage sights of Nepal, to protect the environment in the mountainous region. Later the managing director of Outdoor Adventure has found the idea acceptable and joints the foundation as a vice president. This foundation has already spent the amount above one million rupees only on the name of immediate relief projects in Solu Khumbum Kathmandu and Kavre Palanchok from the support of the Himalayan Sherpa adventure.<\/p>\n

Immediate relief:<\/strong>
\nWe have done our immediate relief project by distribution food, tents and medicine and we have stopped this project at the moment temporarily. We may go ahead for this project if it is needed in the days coming due to further such natural calamity but to keep our major focus on reconstructions, we have decided to stop the immediate relief project at the moment.<\/p>\n

Short term plan:<\/strong>
\nBeside the immediate relief program, we have immediately thought that we need to take care of the ground situation where people are facing huge problem of shortage of medicine, temporary classes for the students who lost their schools and people whose house are damaged badly. We also thought to support the damages on hydro power that put the people to stay in dark in the night and put tins on the roof of the schools buildings which made the class rooms very wet due to the rain gets inside the room.
