After seven attempts over the last three months, finally the Indian Customs have released the 1200 long lasting insecticide mosquito nets that we purchased from Tamilnadu, India. It took over one hundred phone calls and emails to come this far with the seller, transportation company, Indian and Nepalese Customs and the partner organisations. However, the nets are now with the partner organisation safely stored.
The project was scheduled to be completed by 1st week of July 2015 but it will be completed by the mid-April 2016. This is due to the ongoing political issue in the country, hassle at the Indian Customs for documents and import duty issues with Nepalese Customs. We will be holding the nets until the end of March to install in the homes because it is winter in Nepal now and nets are not required to sleep in winter.
800 the poorest of the poor and Dalit families from Bhagawatpur, Mahadewa and Bathanaha village panchayats have been selected to benefit from the project. These village panchayats are in malaria affected zone so the 800 families will be able to sleep safely and peacefully from this April for the next five years.
The total budgeted cost to this project is £3,500, fundraising from various sources so far totalling to £2,135, spending on the project so far £3,110 and an estimated £800 more is needed to complete the project. Any deficit has and will come from our reserve and the reserve is not very healthy at the moment.
