With the financial support of Stifung Water Fuer Die Welt, Germany, the pure drinking water project was started in 2006. This project has not only served as a reservoir of water, but furthermore, the  locals of Seti Devi VDC have been able to distribute the water through pipes to individual homes. Thus, they have access to clean drinking water from taps in their own homes, rather than make an ardous journey to manually carry water in portable vessels. The project has distributed 235 private taps, and 7 public taps . The women of Setidevi are most appreciative and grateful of this facility.

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Heribert Wirth, Stifung Water Fuer Die Welt, for truly making a dream come true for the people of this village.

Bio gas is a highly valuable energy source that can produce electricity and heat. Biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) is formed by the decomposition of organic matter in an oxygen-free environment. This method offers an attractive alternative of handling organic waste since most of the carbon dioxide in the waste is converted to bio gas, and the nutrients from the waste remains in the digestive  residue. Bio gas production was considered by us with the aim to generate ash-free cooking gas, thereby drastically reducing costs of using other fuel products. Same time it is environment–friendly. The process of bio-gas production at Arya Tara is under construction and will be complete in the middle of January 2009.

Part of the costs has been kindly funded by Kesang Doma Sherpa, CEO of Charity and Challenges and Sherpa Trekking Services, Sheela Raj, Isabelle Repaille, NGO H.O.P.E, and HIMAVAN from France. The rest of the costs has been borne by NWF.

Kidney disease victimizes 2,500-3,000 people a year in Nepal. Since complete treatment for kidney disease is not yet available in Nepal people are forced to seek treatment in other countries, which is expensive for most Nepalese. Ani Choying Dolma knows the challenges people face here from the lack of complete treatment,
as her own mother passed away due to the lack of proper treatment in Nepal.
