The main thrust of its strategic work is to empower local children, Child Clubs, youths, women and marginalized groups. By holding the local agencies and governments more responsive and accountable, these groups are enabled to exercise their rights to education, even during the emergency. Loo Niva operationalizes the views of rights holders in its internal operations and project interventions. This is done strategically by strengthening capacity of the local NGOs and education stakeholders on quality education through an education Network at both national and district levels. This Network helps to share each other's learning and good practices. Loo Niva works continuously to build and cultivate links between children, adults and the government agencies using child rights based approach to development. This approach consists of: i) Empowerment of right holders, ii) Sensitization and strengthening duty bearers and iii) Advocating for child friendly policies and practices especially on basic service delivery i.e. education, health and social protection. Loo Niva promotes as its core values for human excellence in the society with economic and social justice, human rights and democracy, human dignity and gender equality, peace and non-violence, creativity and innovation, cultural diversity and equitable development. LOO NIVA ANNUAL REPORT 17/ 01 In the three districts of Lalitpur, Kathmandu and Dadeldhura, it is currently working for the direct benefits of about 10,000 children, many of whom are vulnerable young girls and Dalits (3-18 years), in 74 public schools through 50 local institutions, Child Clubs and agencies related to education, children and young people. Loo Niva envisions the improving of the living conditions of children and their families through the following working themes for the period of 2016-2020: EDUCATION: Equal Access to Quality Education [Child learns in school] PARTICIPATION AND GOVERNANCE:

  • Peasantry in Nepal
    92 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Peasantry in Kathmandu Valley and Its Southern Ridges 4.1 Introduction From ancient times, different societies of caste/ethnicity have been adopting various strategies for ac- quiring a better livelihood in Nepal. Agriculture was, and is, the main strategy. The predominant form of agriculture practised throughout the hilly area of the Nepal is crop farming, livestock and forestry at the subsistence level. Kathmandu valley including Lalitpur district is no exception. The making of handicrafts used to be the secondary occupation in the urban areas of the district. People in the montane and the rural part of the district was more dependent upon the forest resources for subsidiary income. Cutting firewood, making khuwa (solidified concentrated milk cream) and selling them in the cities was also a part of the livelihood for the peasants in rural areas. However, since the past few decades peasants/rural households who depended on subsistence farming have faced greater hardships in earning their livelihoods from farming alone due to rapid population growth and degradation of the natural resource base; mainly land and forest. As a result, they have to look for other alternatives to make living. With the development of local markets and road network, people started to give more emphasis to various nonfarm works as their secondary occupation that would not only support farming but also generate subsidiary cash income. Thus, undertaking nonfarm work has become a main strategy for a better livelihood in these regions. With the introduction of dairy farming along with credit and marketing support under the dairy development policy of the government, small scale peasant dairy farming has flourished in these montane regions.

  • Nepal Earthquake: One Year On
    ne year has passed since a devastating magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck Nepal on 25 April 2015, with the epicenter about 80 kilometers northwest of the capital, Kathmandu. This was the worst disaster to hit Nepal in decades. Only 17 days later a second earthquake of magnitude 7.4 hit near Mount Everest, taking more lives and destroying more homes. According to government estimates, the earthquakes EXECUTIVE Oleft over 750,000 houses and buildings destroyed or damaged and caused over 8,790 deaths. It is estimated that the earthquakes affected the lives of approximately eight million people, constituting almost one-third of the population of Nepal. With the situation dire, the Nepal government declared a state of emergency, and appealed for international aid. Along with other agencies, Habitat SUMMARY for Humanity answered the call to assist the people of Nepal. During the emergency phase, Habitat distributed 5,142 temporary shelter kits to families whose homes were destroyed or left uninhabitable. Habitat volunteers removed 650 tons of earthquake rubble, and distributed 20,000 water backpacks to families in earthquake-affected areas. As the emergency phase ended, Habitat’s programs shifted into reconstruction. Engineers completed safety assessments on 16,244 earthquake- damaged homes. Initial construction began on permanent homes in the community in Kavre district. As months passed, winter brought the threat of cold weather exposure, and Habitat distributed 2,424 winterization kits to families at risk to the elements. In addition, 32 trainers and 632 people in affected communities received instruction on the Participatory Approach for Safe Shelter Awareness. Overall in the first year since the earthquakes, Habitat for Humanity provided assistance to more than 43,700 families through various disaster response programs.
