Paschim Paaila implemented its
project under Paaila Idea fund - 2013 as "Dflxnfsf nflu kfO{nf"/ "Paailas for
Women" at Thapathali Slum area, where 23 women’s of different age group (17-74
years) participated on 29th May, 2014. The program started with the
general information about Paschim Paaila by Mr. Buddha Bajracharya, Network
Coordinator of Paschim Paaila. The program was divided into two parts i.e. WASH
and importance of Vermi-composting technique.
Mr. Bajracharya took a session of
WASH whereby he gave idea on importance of water to the living creatures as
well as present situation of Water in context of Nepal. According to him, “Slum
area of Kathmandu is very prone to Water borne disease, once it catches a
person it can be easily transmitted from person to person very soon.” Whereby,
he gave examples of Jaundice in Biratnagar (2014) and epidemics in Jajarkot
(2009). In addition to that, Mr. Bajracharya highlighted different ways of
water purification viz. filtration (different approaches), boiling, SODIS,
Chlorination (Piyus). Most of the participants took it positively and agreed to
follow one of the water purification techniques. Then, he gave some idea about
the healthy behaviour mainly focusing on "Hand washing techniques".
All the participants vouched to follow ‘Ati-Pati’ technique from the very day.
Next session was taken by Mr. Regan
Sapkota, Paaila idea fund 2013 winner took session on Vermi-composting
technique. According to Mr. Sapkota Nepali are not Poor but the way of thinking
is very poor. He added, vermiform composting can be lucrative source of income
to many unemployed Nepalese as the worms produce ample compost and multiply
their number very quickly. He highlighted various facts about the importance
and effectiveness of vermin composting and urged the participants to practice
this composting technique. All the participants were very much inspired so at
the end of the session all the participants came to common understanding to
start Vermi composting commercially so that this technique can help them
financially to uplift their living standards. Most of the participants were
motivated and said they will embark the Vermi-composting from their home. All
the participants looked positive and were exhilarated and said programs was
fruitful for them and they will soon follow the technique taught to them.
