Most of the people in this village are from poor Chepang and Tamang people groups. They live in small huts where their cattle live together. Most of them do not have their own land. Crops will be only 2-3 months old and not enough for their survival. Therefore the primary source of livelihood is manual labor though others fish or farm to provide for their families.

GHNI is passionate about providing alternatives and improving their economic, education, and health status. Thanks to generous partners with seed funds we’ve been able to offer revolving small loan projects, and help increase family incomes. Impactful training is also being conducted here in personal health, education and community health. Through the establishment of a small loan project, we can help them increase their incomes and bring about educational and personal/communal health and awareness.

CP village is about 20 km away from the small market area of Manahari city. It is a small village where 47 families and 226 people live there in extreme poverty. Many live in small huts made from grass, with their livestock. This leads to sanitation issues and the spread of disease. They have small pieces of land where they grow food for about only 3 months of the year. They also fish to help support their livelihoods.

Through TCD lessons, GHNI aims to reach out to CP village and three villages located in close vicinity. Together we can work to bring awareness and transformation and bring awareness in this village. We’re starting education projects, micro-loans and business training to give this community Help and Hope as they seek to better themselves.

There are about 1,000 people from the Musahar and Paswan tribes living in extreme poverty in Katuwaghat village The landlords they work for own all the land, including where their huts are built. Women and children have grown accustomed to begging when foreigners visit to earn a living.

Income and education opportunities for the villagers are few and far between. Young women and children are frequently taken abroad with the false promise of jobs but instead are enslaved and sexually exploited.

Through TCD, we’ve been working with KW and surrounding communities to raise awareness for the need of nutritious food and clean water. Our staff are also working hard to help create a better future for children at risk for trafficking. We’ve seen a strong openness to learning, and creating a mindset where they can take initiative to build a better life. GHNI is eagerly looking for opportunities to expand to other cluster villages.
