Six volunteers have been recruited and trained to identify the neediest 600 families and finalising the name of beneficiaries is at the final stage
1200 long lasting insecticide mosquito net have been purchased from an Indian manufacturer at cost of £2208. The net is being held with the delivery company (Transport Cooperation of India) at the nearest Indian town on the boarder for taxation issue
The Nepal Government is demanding a 50% import duty tax on the purchase. We were informed that charitable goods are exempt from taxation. But the government is saying if you distributed the nets in our priority area though government officials then it is exempt from taxation. We think these are unfair conditions of the government.
Now, we have to find extra funds to pay the tax so we can complete the project as soon as possible. The last time, we didn’t have this problem because we purchased locally manufactured mosquito net. But quality of the locally manufactured net is very poor.
