What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference
we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the
life we lead.

Introduction
The 2015 Nepal Earthquake on April 25th and May 12th left in
its aftermath a trail of destruction of enormity, and the loss of
many lives and properties.
The devastation led to a death toll of approximately 9,000,
injuring more than 22,000 people and affected 8 million
people, destroying and damaging over 750,000 homes.
Thousands have been rendered displaced, hungry and
bereaved. Centuries of culture and tradition slipped away.
The epicentre of the May 12th earthquake was the in the VDC
of Tatopani, which is located in the Sindhupalchowk Districtnortheast of Kathmandu near the Tibetan/Chinese border. All
14 villages here were severely impacted with approximately
1200 people displaced.
There is an emergent need of urgent recovery from the deep
psychological scars that they have been exposed to. There is
an immediate need to relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction and
restoration.
All these villages lost everything

Background
The villages that make up the Tatopani VDC area are reputed
for their rich scenic beauty and equally splendid cultural
heritage and strong traditions.
With an ethnically diverse social milieu, the Sherpas,
Tamangs, Dalits, Chhetris and Brahmins have been
coexisting in 14 neighboring villages for over five centuries.
The basis of the economy has historically been subsistence
farming and agriculture and, recently, tourism. Tourism
became a significant part of the economy as tourists
discovered the potential of the place in terms of the wealth of
natural beauty, culture and heritage with warm and welcoming
people.
The area is knitted together by a string of jewels including
Bhairav Kunda (Holy Lake) and the 160 year old Duguna
Gardi (Fort) along with extraordinary views of the nearby
Himalayan peaks to the north. The villages form a tight-knit
community and the people are rich in cultural traditions and
heritage.

Camp Hope
The earthquakes unleashed a stream of traumatic and
disastrous consequences. They forced around 60% of the
villagers to flee villages and to take shelter in temporary
camps in Sindhupalchowk, Kathmandu and its vicinity.
Dwarikas Foundation, Mission Portugal and their friends
formed a partnership, which began as immediate relief,
distributing food and other aid to over 55,000 people. An IDP
camp for 350 affected people was established in Boudha in
the heart of Kathmandu on an old football field, now called
Camp Hope. The rest of the 1,181 people from Tatopani,
Sindhupalchowk are in other IDP camps.
The partners are now involved in managing and caring for the
people ofCamp Hope. The purpose is not only giving shelter
but providing a transitional home where the people feel safe
and can live in dignity until they are able to return to their
villages. The Camp is composed of 18 sleeping tents, a
monastery, an office, a medical tent, a library, a study area, a
hand work/adult literacy tent, a big and a small kitchen, a
dinning area, a food store and an open space for leisure
activities.
Besides the basic needs such as food, health and shelter, thepartners also provide literacy and sustainability programs and
skills that will be incremental in the building and development
of their future villages (masonry, plumbing, electrician and
carpentry). 81 children and youth have been enrolled in the
nearby Samata School and College.
Everybody is starting to rebuild their lives.

Dream Village
The villagers dream is to return to their home and to
reconstruct stronger and safer (complying with seismic codes),
homes and villages that are self sustaining. They also dream
of saving their rich cultural heritage and traditions of over fivehundred years.
The aim is to rebuild their 14 villages in 6 different locations
with 222 homes. Initially, homes with 2 rooms will be built. But
design and construction will allow for safely future expansion
according to their needs and desires and taking into account
the coming generations.
Villages will be sustainable with biogas systems, solar power,rainwater catchment systems and other renewable energies.
Shared facilities include: a school, health clinic, community
hall, water system and a place of worship.
It is critical to ensure that these people will be financially
stable by teaching marketable skills and helping them to
develop tourism which is a vital source of income.
