Nepal, One Year On On 25th April 2015 a massive earthquake of 7.8 magnitude jolted Nepal resulting in the death of more than eight thousand and leaving scores displaced. One year on, UNV Engineers with UNDP’s Debris Management Project encapsulate how they are positively contributing to help rebuild Nepal
"The mental fear following the earthquake remains if people see damaged houses and rubble around them. This is the real value of our work and the main importance of demolition and debris management." UN Volunteer Ayush Kuinkel
"The project has enhanced the use of local resources and local people." UN Volunteer Darshan Babu Adhikari
“Proper management of debris means protecting human lives, reducing injuries and preventing environmental impact." UN Volunteer Saroj Chalise
"I learnt how to develop effective managerial skills in an emergency situation, dealing with the affected people to solve their problems through disaster management skills. For Nepal to rise again, this type of support and commitment is but indispensable." UN Volunteer Suman Tiwari
“This program is making me a better person, a better engineer and helping my personal growth.” UN Volunteer Purnima Acharya
"For me, as a Civil Engineer, post-earthquake work is gateway to reconstruction." UN Volunteer Suman Tiwari
