The human resources available for the reconstruction were also semi-skilled and technically it was There are many flaws in their work, but the training provided under the Nepal Housing Reconstruction Project encouraged them to correct their weaknesses.” Our support was how to make use of local materials and resources and how one person could carry a complete home building material consisting of all the basics and basic materials. jw.org en Using all the local materials as well as the rescue materials they lost during the earthquake.

I used to earn a daily wage of 200-50 Nepalese rupees through the work done in this field.
