Pray for Nepal
Pray for Nepal Bajhang Bajura Doti Achham Kailali Seti, Bajhang Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Thank-You for committing to join with us to pray for the well-being of every village in our wonderful country. Jesus modeled his love for every village when he was going from one city and village to another with his disciples. Next, Jesus would mentor his disciples to do the same by sending them out to all the villages. Later, he would monitor the work of the disciples and the 70 as they were sent out two-by-two to all the villages. (Luke 8-10) But, how can we pray for the 3,984 VDCs in our Country? In the time of Nehemiah, his brother brought him news that the walls of Jerusalem were torn down. The wall represented protection, safety, blessing, and a future. Nehemiah prayed, fasted, and repented for the sins of the people. God answered Nehemiah’s prayers. The huge task to re-build the walls became possible through God’s blessings, each person building in front of their own houses, and the builders continuing even in the face of great persecution. For us, each village is like a brick in the wall. Let us pray for every village so that there are no holes in the wall. Each person praying for the villages in their respective areas would ensure a systematic approach so that all the villages of the state would be covered in prayer. Some have asked, “How do you eat an Elephant?” (How do you work on a giant project?) Others have answered, “One bite at a time.” (One step at a time - in small pieces). -

Results of a Drinking Water Survey in Bajhang District, Nepal
HEAR Nepal (Health, Education, Awareness and Rights) A Nepalese registered non-profit organization By Madhav Joshi Results of a Drinking Water Survey in Bajhang District, Nepal Introduction/Background Water is one of the basic human necessities and in the Millennium Development Goals, one of the targets is to substantially reduce the proportion of people without access to safe water. A large proportion of the Nepalese population is devoid of access to safe and adequate drinking water. In a country of around 6,000 rivers, the water crisis in Nepal sounds a bit paradoxical. According to the 2011 census, 85 per cent of Nepalis had access to drinking water, up from 72 per cent. This indeed is huge progress compared to 1990 when only 46 per cent of the population had access to drinking water. However, according to the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage in Nepal, although most people have access to drinking water, it is generally not safe. Water is needed for the maintenance of health. Its importance is not only related to the quantity, but also the quality. Access to water in the required quantity is needed to achieve good personal and domestic hygiene practices. Good quality water ensures that ingested water does not constitute a health hazard, even after a lifetime of consumption. It is, however, estimated that the drinking of contaminated water is responsible for 88% of the cases of diarrhoeal diseases that occur in the world every year, and deaths that result from them. It is also indirectly responsible for the 50% of childhood malnutrition that is linked to diarrhoeal and dysentery diseases.
