    A Community United, 200 Roofs Rising: Rebuilding Lives After Jajarkot

    Taranga Nepal provided technical assistance for 200 temporary shelters in Barekot Rural Municipality after the Jajarkot Earthquake. Tarpaulin came from Lutheran World Relief; bamboo was sourced locally. Volunteers worked alongside families—giving time, skills, and heart to ensure no one waited too long for a roof. Combining local materials, community labor, and technical guidance, the initiative delivered urgent shelter and something more: trust, dignity, and resilience for the long road home.

    A Roof in a Day, Hope for a Lifetime

    Funded by Ripple Training and Consulting Services Pvt. Ltd., Taranga Nepal built 10 transitional shelters at the epicenter of the 2080 Jajarkot Earthquake. Households were selected based on needs assessed by Barekot Rural Municipality. Each 11'×12' shelter costs ~NPR 18,000, builds in a single day using local labor, and can later serve as a grain store or livestock shed. This community-driven model delivered immediate, dignified shelter—bridging emergency response and long-term recovery.

    Reaching the Epicenter When It Mattered Most

    After the 2080 Jajarkot Earthquake, Taranga Nepal's architects traveled 8 hours from Surkhet-crossing four rivers-to reach Sirpachaur. They found homes destroyed, families in temporary shelters, and grain stored inside unsafe structures. The team assessed damage while supporting shelter construction. Learning from the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, Taranga Nepal prioritized livelihood-integrated housing, design innovation, and community participation-launching a needs assessment of 139 households. Reconstruction that's not just faster, but better.
