Remote Village Infrastructure
In addition to the education and health priorities, NAFA also supports other remote infrastructure in selected villages referred to in the education page. To date, these have included:
- water infrastructure
- micro-hydro electricity that bring electricity to homes, local schools and newly created small businesses
- improved cooking stoves that use less wood and reduce smoke in homes
- bio-gas
- solar panels
- agricultural cooperative infrastructure
- oil/grinding mills
NAFA also distributes jumpers and beanies knitted by women in Brisbane and brought over by NAFA supporters visiting Nepal. These jumpers and beanies are distributed to school children in remote villages and to other institutions such as homes for children and adults with a disability.
