Nepal pledges water and sanitation for all by 2017 Ministers from Nepal and nearly 50 other countries have pledged to strengthen efforts to bring water, basic toilets and hygiene to their people following the Sanitation and Water for All High-Level Meeting in Washington, DC, USA, on 11 April.  The meeting was opened by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim.  “Achieving sanitation and water for all may not be cost-free – but it will set people free. Access to sanitation and water means a child free of disease, a woman free of the back-breaking chore to fetch water, a girl free to attend school without fear, a village free of cholera, and a world of greater equality and dignity for all,” Ban Ki-moon said.   http://www.spotlightnepal.com/News/Article/wateraidnepal-water-sanitation-for-all

  1. Very interesting. I am on the board of Water for Small Villages and we installed new piping for the village of Kabilash, Nepal last May and are currently expanding the distribution of this water. This Phase 2 effort should be completed within 6 weeks - dependent on the delivery of the pipe to the village.
