Emergency at Chirtung village!

Chirtung is one of the remote rural communities in Syangja District of Nepal. There are 33 households with 217 people living in them. The village is located approximately 11 kilometers from a small city area along the Siddhartha Highway. The primary occupation is agriculture where womens play a important rol in the daily works. 

As in most rural areas of Nepal, women are mainly affected by problems related to water supply, unequal access to resources, administration, representation and education among others. They are also particularly at risk from the effects of climate change.

Since a landslide destroyed the pipeline and the water tank at the source, the water issue in the village is causing a lot of problems for the residents. The majority of those impacted are women, who are the ones tradictionally in charge of carrying the water . With the pipeline distroyed , the women and young girls have to walk from the community 45 minutes away to take the water for home uses. Carrying heavy pots on their backs.

The  list of challenges faced by the community because of this situation are many and increasing every time we do not take action.

• Womens are extremly overloaded.
• Many children, elder citizen and pregnat women are not accessing to a safe drinking water. This directly affects to their wellbeing and future development.
• Vulnerable people of the village struggle with the situation being the inequalities incremented. 
• The situation creates a bad environment and tension.

They have already requested the local government to help them with the repairs without success due to the lak of resources and political issues putting the people living in the village in a complicated and undeserved situation.
