Tilu Praja with a dream to bring water to his village
Tilu Praja is from Tobang, a beautiful Chepang Village situated at height of 1400 meters from sea level where there was little to no access to water. During monsoon, villagers used to collect water from nearer sources but in other seasons they had to walk for hours to reach a nearer source. Tilu came to Sapana Village Lodge with his dream to provide easy access of water to his village. He applied for waiter post at our sister organization Sapana Village Lodge. During interview with Tilu by Chairman of SVSI and founder of Sapana Village Lodge Mr. Dhruba Giri, he shared his dream to bring drinking water to his village.

Dhruba ensured that he will support Tilu’s dream and appointed him as a waiter of Sapana. Later Joke Van Der Zwaan (founder of Nepal Benefiet Aalsmeer) was impressed from his story and promised to support him by aiding to implement Rainwater Harvesting Project in his village.
Later, in the mutual co-operation of SVSI and Nepal Benefiet Alsmeer, rainwater harvesting project was started and 33 rainwater harvesting tanks were built for 33 households and one bigger tank of 20,000 liters storing capacity was built for a primary School in Tobang . For more info check Rainwa
