Nepal Water Project

We recently completed our first overseas project in April 2023 when 4 of our exco members embarked on a trip to Nepal with the aim of improving the water sanitation and water storage situation of the Bungamati community. This was the culmination of more than a year’s worth of preparation since the recce trip undertaken by 2 of our members last year.

It was a truly rewarding experience for the team which left an indelible mark on our hearts and minds.

The community in Bungamati had 3 water tanks which get sporadic water supply from the government. Due to pipe bursts and droughts, these water sources have a tendency to be unreliable.

During EWB (SG)'s recce trip to Bungamati in 2022, we identified a potential groundwater source to supplement the current water tanks. We were able to conduct testing on the water quality of this groundwater, before and after the use of the Wateroam’s ROAMfilter Plus water filtration system.

Building upon the insights gathered during our recce trip in 2022, we harnessed the collective expertise of our team to install rainwater collection and water storage system. We also improved the wifi connectivity throughout the compound and replaced plug points sockets to mitigate safety risks.

We are deeply grateful for Dr Michael Ong of Peace Child Ministry who connected us with the local community and coordinated closely with us throughout the entire preparation and execution phases. This trip would also not have been possible without the support of our other members who contributed to the designing and planning of the project.
