A 7.9 richter scale earthquake hit Nepal on Saturday, the 25th of April 2015, which shook the entire country and left with massive destruction in human casualties and physical property, leaving people in unforgettable pain and tears. Thousands of old houses and temples have completely been destroyed rendering people homeless and without shelter. They have lost their homes, their belongings and most importantly, their families.  

Since after the earthquake on 25th April, Lumanti Support Group for Shelter, in coordination with local government and in partnership with local women cooperatives, community groups and CBOs, is providing support to the earthquake affected families for improving their living condition through reconstruction and livelihood support. With support from various funding partners, Lumanti has focused its reconstruction programs in different earthquake affected areas in Rasuwa, Makawanpur and in traditional old settlements within Kathmandu valley.
