ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Help People Help Themselves ANNUAL REPORT 2018 help people help themselves Social Welfare Association of Nepal (SWAN) ANNUAL REPORT, 2018 FOREWORD In 2018, SWAN continued its core projects; education and child development, community health and sanitation, maternal and child health and livelihood alternatives in providing the better opportunities to the underprivileged children and disadvantaged women of Nepal. As a part of the reconstruction project, SWAN completed the construction of the 2 room spaced Early Childhood Development (ECD) Center of the Sita Basic School in Sindhupalchowk while 6 rooms spaced building is under construction at the Shree Birendra Secondary School in Parbat. SWAN reached out to 177 (88 Boys, 89 Girls) underprivileged children through scholarship program across the country this year . The implementation of School Health Education Program in 20 community schools in a bid to create awareness on hygiene and sanitation amongst school children and their families in Parbat and Baglung district remained productive. As a part of the child friendly school approach, SWAN initiated this project in which handwashing events were very participatory and popular among school children and communities. SWAN has also focused on the maternal and child health project in the very remotely situated Namkha Rural Municipality (RM) of Upper Humla. The ultimate aim of the project is to strengthen the 6 birthing centers in Namkha RM through logistics support, skilled birth attendants (SBA) trainings including case management skills, proper treatment, referral mechanism and community outreach programs. After the project intervention of SWAN, we are starting to see the real change with the fi rst ever delivery of the healthy baby in SWAN supported Kermi Health Facility of Namkha Rural Municipality, Humla. The main challenge of this project is to educate and encourage women and their families to deliver their babies at the health facilities. SWAN has supported more than 500 women engaged in off seasonal vegetable farming and goat raising activities so as to improve their livelihoods. Likewise, over 200 women were trained to enhance the alternative farming skills for the sustainability of the income generation projects. Such projects have been helping women to become more confi dent and independent while also enable them to handle the household expenditures easily and sending their children to schools. SWAN provided a warm clothes such as sweater, woolen caps, socks and trousers for the 498 school children of Baglung and Nuwakot districts who were deprived of the warm clothes in winter. We are grateful to all our supporters in Nepal and around the world for sharing the warmth, generosity and compassion which helps us ensure to keep children warm during winter. I look forward to the support of all to continue our shared vision of helping people help themselves. SWAN believes together we can achieve many great things.

  • A Sociolinguistic Survey of Humla Tibetan in Northwest Nepal
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2020-013 A Sociolinguistic Survey of Humla Tibetan in Northwest Nepal Klaas de Vries A Sociolinguistic Survey of Humla Tibetan in Northwest Nepal Klaas de Vries SIL International® 2020 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2020-013, Month 2020 © 2020 SIL International® All rights reserved Data and materials collected by researchers in an era before documentation of permission was standardized may be included in this publication. SIL makes diligent efforts to identify and acknowledge sources and to obtain appropriate permissions wherever possible, acting in good faith and on the best information available at the time of publication. Abstract The Humla Tibetan language [hut], spoken in the far northwest of Nepal, has received little scholarly attention. This report presents the results of sociolinguistic research conducted among the Tibetan- speaking communities in Humla District. The main goal of this research is to describe the primary dialect areas and investigate the relationships between them. Other goals are investigation of the ethnolinguistic identity, assessment of language vitality, and understanding of the desires for development of the communities. In 2012 and 2013, three fieldwork trips were undertaken for data collection. During these trips seven sociolinguistic tools were used. These were wordlists, informal interviews, knowledgeable insider questionnaires, Recorded Story Questions, observation schedule, and two participatory method tools, namely Dialect Mapping and Appreciative Inquiry. This research found that the different speech varieties among the Tibetan-speaking villages of Humla District should be seen as dialects of the same language. Four dialects are identified, namely: the Limi dialect (Til, Halji, and Jang), the Upper Humla dialect (from Yari to Yalbang), the Lower Humla dialect (from Kermi to Kholsi to Tanggin), and the Eastern Humla dialect (from Burangse to Dojam).

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
