Paving Palung
Bhangkhoriya area in Palung is a marginalized region, located just 1.5 hours’ walk from Palung Bazaar. Despite being close to the capital and part of the Thaha Municipality, Makwanpur District, it lacks basic resources and social functioning. The area is home to the Tamang Community and has 40 households with a population of around 300 people spanning all age groups. Unfortunately, the community still lacks access to the resources necessary for proper individual and social functioning and are struggling to make it through everyday life.
The Project Paving Palung is an ambitious initiative aimed at enhancing the lives of the local community through a comprehensive, long-term plan consisting of three phases: survival, revival, and sustainability. The project endeavors to foster a thriving and self-sufficient community by introducing a range of innovative programs and initiatives that will drive economic growth and social development in the region.
The first phase of the project, “Survival,” is focused on providing immediate relief to the community’s most vulnerable members by providing access to basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter. This phase aims to alleviate the community’s pressing needs and create a secure foundation on which to build a brighter future.
The second phase, “Revival,” involves revitalizing the community’s economic and social infrastructure. This stage of the project involves the implementation of several programs aimed at creating new opportunities for entrepreneurship, employment, and education. By investing in the development of local industries and businesses, the project aims to create a sustainable economy that will benefit the community for generations to come.
The third and final phase of the project, “Sustainability,” is focused on creating a self-sufficient community that can support itself and continue to grow and develop over time. This phase involves the implementation of a range of environmentally friendly initiatives that will help to preserve the region’s natural resources while simultaneously promoting sustainable growth and development.
In summary, the Project Paving Palung is an ambitious and comprehensive initiative aimed at transforming the lives of the local community through a range of innovative and impactful programs. Through a three-phase plan focused on survival, revival, and sustainability, the project aims to create a self-sufficient and thriving community that can stand the test of time.
Winter Warmth
Winter Warmth is an initiative spearheaded by Healing Hearts aimed at providing warmth and comfort to the children of the Tamang community in the uppermost part of Thaha Municipality, Palung. During winter, the community suffers immensely as temperatures drop below freezing point, making it unbearable to survive without adequate winter clothing. While there is still a long way to go in improving their living conditions, we can at least make a small difference by providing them with the necessary resources to survive the harsh winter.
Happy Feet
When we reflect on our own childhood, we realize that we often made excuses to avoid going to school. However, for the children attending Shree Mangaleshwor School in Bhangkhoriya, the pursuit of education is a daily journey that they approach with unwavering determination. Despite the challenges of traversing up and down hills in worn-out chappals for an hour each day, these young students remain eager and enthusiastic about learning.
At Healing Hearts, we are committed to supporting these resilient students and easing the burdens they face. Our efforts begin with small yet meaningful steps, such as providing comfortable shoes to help make their daily commute more comfortable and their learning experience more enjoyable.
We recognize that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and nurturing environment. By providing the necessary resources and support, we can help these students overcome the challenges they face and unlock their full potential. We believe that even the smallest actions can make a big difference, and we remain dedicated to creating a brighter future for all.
