While a few families are busy building new houses, many are waiting for the government\u2019s support. Dominated by the Tamang, an indigenous group of Nepal, the village has not received much attention from the government, even though it is less than 50 kilometres from the capital, Kathmandu.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the troubles, Rupa Tamang has made every effort to make her family\u2019s life easier. On the left of the entrance to her small hut, a wooden tripod holds a bamboo dustbin off the ground to collect plastic. The 500-litre water tank collects rainwater from a six-metre long pipe tied to the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe use this water for irrigation and other household purposes. In winter, the tank is used to store water brought from a source few kilometres away,\u201d says Rupa. \u201cIn the rainy season, rainwater fills the tank.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[vimeo 235480478 w=640 h=360]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sikhreghyangh is one of three villages planned as an eco-development village, supported by several NGOs, such as the Centre for Renewable Technology Nepal (CRT-N). \u201cWe don\u2019t give much financial support but provide them with technical support to use any technology, and provide seed money to buy those facilities,\u201d said Subas Lamichhane, a field coordinator at CRT-N. \u201cThe rest is done by the communities themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rupa has also installed a solar panel to power light bulbs, and uses an improved cook stove which emits negligible smoke and has helped her cook food more easily. \u201cAfter the earthquake, life became hell, but we are returning to normalcy and these small technologies have brought in rays of hope,\u201d she says. \u201cI spend less time collecting firewood as the new improved cookstove consumes less firewood. It saves time which I can spend with my three-year-old son.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using a single improved cook stove can reduce 60-90% of indoor air pollution and &nbsp;2.5 tonnes of greenhouse gases by per stove per year, according to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aepc.gov.np\/?option=renewable&amp;page=biomassics&amp;mid=2&amp;sub_id=15&amp;ssid=12&amp;cat=Improved%20Cooking%20Stoves\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nepal\u2019s Alternative Energy Promotion Centre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThese kind of small interventions help communities ease their lives. Indirectly, this also helps mitigate global problems like climate change,\u201d says Lamichhane, who coordinates local activities in the district under CRT-N. \u201cWe don\u2019t talk much about climate change at a grassroots level, but we help them understand the benefits of such green technologies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_23049\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23049\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23049 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1E1A8653-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23049\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rupa Tamang harvests rainwater from the roof of her makeshift house after the 2015 earthquake.

This range of the Mahabharat mountains \u2013&nbsp;also known as the lesser Himalayas \u2013&nbsp;boasts hard rocks which are highly demanded in the cities. Many of the local people work as labourers in the nearby stone extraction sites. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preeti Man Tamang, 50, has limited land and had no idea about greenhouses which, with a small investment of just Rs 2,000 (USD 20), could eventually bring him more money. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c[The CRT-N] gave me plastic to build this greenhouse and taught me ways to construct it.

It\u2019s one of a few houses that have been built so far, out of around 40 in the village. Next door, her neighbour Bir Bahadur Tamang is busy caring for the vegetables in the backyard of his house. This year, the production of tomatoes drastically reduced. \u201cI try to apply as little pesticides as possible. We would like to be an organic village but controlling pests was very hard this year,\u201d says Bir. \u201cIt\u2019s the major challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After devastating earthquakes in 2015, clean cookstoves, rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation is making life easier
