However, between 2014-2018 they decided to discontinue their farming activities due to a lack of human resources and the unavailability of farming land. In 2017, our organization managed to rent farming land for the Children's Home, and they resumed their farming activities on this new land.

La protection de l'environnement est aujourd'hui l'un des enjeux mondiaux les plus pressants, et le Népal ne fait pas exception. L'urbanisation rapide, la consommation accrue et l'évolution des modes de vie ont engendré des défis considérables, notamment en matière de gestion des déchets. La gestion des déchets solides en zones urbaines et rurales est une préoccupation majeure, car elle a un impact direct sur l'environnement, la santé publique et les communautés locales.

Dans de nombreuses zones d'intervention de VIN, y compris les écoles, l'élimination inadéquate des déchets – tels que les restes alimentaires et autres matériaux – constitue un problème grave. Cela entraîne des dépôts sauvages, des risques sanitaires et de la pollution, en particulier dans des zones vulnérables comme Jitpurphedi, Kavresthali et Okharpauwa, près de Katmandou. Une mauvaise gestion des déchets affecte les communautés urbaines et rurales, contribuant à la dégradation de l'environnement, à la contamination des sols et à des problèmes de santé. Les enfants sont particulièrement vulnérables et souffrent de maladies respiratoires, d'infections cutanées et de troubles gastro-intestinaux dus à l'exposition aux déchets.

информация о работе волонтера

Objectifs clés

• Réduire la pollution de l'eau, des sols et de l'air par le biais de l'éducation à l'environnement et d'activités de nettoyage communautaires.

• Donner aux communautés les moyens d'adopter des pratiques de gestion durable des déchets, notamment la réduction, la réutilisation et le recyclage.

• Sensibiliser à l'importance de la protection de l'environnement et à ses bienfaits à long terme pour la santé publique et le développement durable.

Campagnes de gestion et de nettoyage

• Campagnes de nettoyage des déchets : Des bénévoles travailleront avec les communautés locales pour organiser des opérations de nettoyage. Ces activités viseront à débarrasser les espaces publics des déchets, à réduire les détritus et à créer des environnements plus propres.

Formation à la gestion des déchets

• Principes des 3R (Réduire, Réutiliser et Recycler) : Former les communautés locales à une gestion efficace des déchets selon les principes des 3R. Cela comprendra le tri des déchets, le recyclage, les techniques de compostage et les méthodes appropriées d'élimination des déchets.

• Formation au compostage : Des bénévoles guideront les ménages dans la fabrication de compost à domicile à partir de déchets organiques. Cette méthode réduit les déchets et fournit un engrais organique pour de meilleures pratiques agricoles. Formation en agriculture durable

• Formation au jardinage potager : Promouvoir une agriculture durable en apprenant aux ménages locaux à créer des potagers. Cette activité permettra aux familles de cultiver leurs propres légumes, de réduire leur dépendance aux intrants extérieurs et de contribuer à une meilleure alimentation.

Les volontaires seront logés chez la famille d'accueil ou dans l'auberge identifiée par leur numéro d'identification personnel (VIN). Le logement est simple et rudimentaire. Les volontaires, hommes et femmes, partageront le même espace de vie, mais disposeront de chambres séparées. Ils dormiront sur des lits ou matelas simples. Veuillez apporter votre sac de couchage.

информация о питании

Concernant la nourriture, les volontaires recevront trois repas par jour, selon les standards népalais. Les plats principaux sont à base de riz, comme le Daal Bhat (soupe de lentilles et riz), les légumes et les currys étant des aliments de base. Les Népalais consomment rarement de la viande ou du poisson et ont une alimentation principalement végétarienne. La consommation de pain est également peu courante. La cuisine népalaise est riche en glucides. Si vous souhaitez diversifier votre alimentation (par exemple avec différents légumes, des œufs ou des fruits), les frais seront à votre charge, mais les familles d'accueil se feront un plaisir de préparer ces aliments supplémentaires. Dans les familles d'accueil et les monastères/couvents, vous partagerez les repas. Veuillez nous informer de toute allergie ou exigence alimentaire particulière.

270 euros + 100 euros de frais de transport. Ces frais couvrent l'hébergement, les repas et le matériel nécessaire au projet. Ils sont payables à l'arrivée au bureau du VIN à Katmandou.

Pourquoi Okhaldhunga et les frais de transport supplémentaires ? • Le trajet depuis Katmandou dure une journée (250 km) en voiture ou en bus, sur des routes en partie cahoteuses, parfois goudronnées. • Cette magnifique région himalayenne est située à proximité du mont Everest. • Elle manque de développement et d’infrastructures de base.

• C’est une zone très défavorisée qui attend son développement. • La communauté est accueillante et la culture est riche. • Les habitants vivent simplement et sont souriants. • Le cadre est magnifique, avec un relief vallonné. • Le personnel et la population locale offrent un soutien important. • Les volontaires auront le sentiment d’avoir contribué au bien-être de cette communauté défavorisée.
