The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) was established by the government of Nepal to look after and coordinate the earthquake relief and reconstruction activities after the 2015 devastating earthquake. On 27th January, 2017 NRA conducted a program in completion of 2 years of their establishment. The program was organized to give information to all regarding the works they have done so far. And at the end, the selected organizations were given the appreciation certificate for their intervention in earthquake relief and reconstruction. NRA held NJSI’s contribution and invited us to receive the appreciation letter during the function.
NJSI was appreciated, among other things, specifically for the construction of residential school facilities for disabled people.
So far, NJSI has constructed four hostels for special children alone; three in Nuwakot, one in Sindhupalchowk and few are under construction in Kavre. Each hostel is designed to accommodate twenty special children (10 boys and 10 girls). Each has two bedrooms, one for girls and other for boys, one kitchen, and one study/activity room. The hostel has two toilets and two bathrooms, separated for boys and girls. This project is financed by Missionszentrale der Franziskaner and supported by Xavier network in Nuwakot and Amici Dei Bambini funded the one in Sindhupalchowk. All four hostels have been handed over and the children are already residing in them.
