People are helping each other for constructing their houses in rural villages of northern Nepal.
People of northern hills of Nepal felt severe shortage of labor force after the devastating earthquake. In fact, many of their loved ones died, few fled to safer places and some left the country for better employment. Consequently, the villages started suffering from skilled human resources who can actually build the houses.
Next, those left in the village had no skills at all to start construction. Some of them had only meagre skill to build makeshift homes only.
Later, few of the non-profit organizations started providing training to those villagers where they got chance to hone on their skills in carpentary and masonry. However, the skilled human resources being trained were not sufficient to accomplish reconstruction in the village.
Now, the villagers have no option left than to help each other. Since it is virtually difficult to hire skilled labor from the neighboring villages as there are also shortage of people. Therefore, they are being clubbed together, forming a group of 5 to 10 people, with masons, carpenter and a qualified mason. A construction group, like this one, is constructing houses in the village.
