Background 

A rapid assessment conducted in the most affected areas of Namobuddha Municipality (Kavrepalanchok) and Konjyosom Rural Municipality (Lalitpur) revealed extensive damage to local drinking water systems, leaving communities without safe and reliable water access.  Based on community needs, feasibility studies, and available local resources, five priority water systems were selected for rehabilitation under the recovery program.

Implementation Approach 

The selected water systems in Namobuddha, Kavre, were originally constructed in 2017 by NCRS in partnership with Samaritan’s Purse Nepal, following the 2015 Mega Earthquake. These systems were severely damaged during the 2024 floods and landslides. 

Through immediate reconstruction and rehabilitation, all five systems were restored to full functionality, enabling communities to quickly regain access to safe drinking water. 

Project Handover 

Formal handover ceremonies were conducted in the presence of local authorities and community representatives: 

  • May 09 – Kavre (3 water systems) 
  • May 11 – Lalitpur (2 water systems) 

These events ensured community ownership, transparency, and sustainability of the restored systems. 

Impact and Community Response 

The restored water systems now provide safe drinking water to 1,056 people across 193 households, including neighboring communities. 

Key Outcomes: 

  • Restored safe and reliable water access 
  • Improved dignity, hygiene, and health security 
  • Reduced risk of waterborne diseases 
  • Strengthened community resilience and preparedness 

Beneficiaries expressed that renewed access to clean water has significantly improved their dignity and sense of security. Local authorities extended heartfelt appreciation to SPI and NCRS for their timely response and sustained commitment, emphasizing the importance of linking emergency relief with long-term recovery
