installlation of Bio-sand Filter at School

Under this project, Bio-Sand filters were installed in 30 public schools across Diktel Rupakot Majhuwagadhi Municipality, the administrative headquarters of Khotang District in Koshi Province, Nepal. These filters are now providing safe and potable drinking water to more than 3,000 students and teachers in the 30 schools. With the availability of clean water, the incidence of water-borne diseases and related infections is expected to decline significantly, leading to reduced absenteeism among students and improved overall health and learning outcomes.
The project started on 12TH January 2026 and was completed on 17TH April 2026.
