ECWZ working through and with needy people!!




Finally ECWZ distributed a huge amount of food (Rice) to the victim of landslide. It was possible only because of those people who contributed for this programme by sending money. We were planning to provide support to 67 families who were said to be affected by the landslide (according to media and Govt.), but at the time 84 families were present there to get support. I didn’t want to disappoint them by saying to no. As the result I was compelled to cut the drinking oil. We had around 2000 kg of rice and 67 litre of oil, but at last we distributed only rice. That was 30 for each family and was 2520 kg in total. It was the biggest support for those people. Head of the Maoist and Govt. both were invited as chief guest but because of the landslide, govt. officials were not able to present there. The Man carrying colourful bag is the head of the Maoist for that district. Both Maoist and govt. people were there along with the representatives from Red cross and local intellectuals.
Prem (Head of the Maoist) said that Maoist will support ECWZ (www.ecwz.org.np) and other genuine organisations who work in most remote area for the welfare of disadvantaged and needy people. People and organisation appreciating us for this kind of support. We will have no risk from Maoist to in every part of that district from now. They will be coping us. We should have good relationship with both Govt and Maoist because we work in grass root level.
Those people, who supported us by sending money, please feel proud for your contribution because your precious earning has been spent for the survival of the people who are suffering from starvation caused by landslide.
