NRA CEO and U.S. Ambassador to Nepal observed the reconstruction progress in the areas
Majhigaun, a village of fishermen in Bhirkot of Tamakoshi Rural Municipality, Dolakha is about to complete housing reconstruction. Out of 56 houses identified as completely collapsed by 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, so far 53 have been rebuilt ensuring earthquake resistant elements. Government has recently enlisted 5 more houses as beneficiaries after readdressing the grievance cases. Those 5 house-owners have just signed the agreement to receive government grant amount. NSET is providing technical support to earthquake affected families in the locality through USAID supported program Baliyo Ghar.

CEO Mr. Gyewali and Ambassador Mr. Berry visited a house of children which was rebuilt through the OJT of Baliyo Ghar program where Alina, Alisha, Yesha along with their infant brother got opportunity to interact with.
