Kagitigaun, a village on the poverty line. Struggles with major physical, mental and social health factors. This is due to the village demographic having a high rate of uneducated and low income earning people.

The women in this vilage rely soley on men for their income.Polygamy and child marriage is a common culture in this village. Women are left neglected after there husbands collect other wives. Leaving them with no support and often forced to make unjust and uneducated decesions inorder to survive. They sell their children to the indian sex slave trade, where they are Subjected to Rape and HIV. Others will force their children to marry young, for the benefit and securities the marriage system of Nepal offers. Child pregancys are therfore a common trend within this village. Human harmony would like to Prevent these cultral practices and social norms.
Due to lack of education, Villagers of Kagitigaun are unaware of the health hazards that surround them. They are at high risk of contracting diseases, and have low morality rates due to high risk health concerns. This is a result of continual use of communal water sources and open defecation. The minority of Villagers, who understand the concerns regarding their water sources, must walk far distances in hopes of finding clean water, where they are often met unlucky.
Human Harmony Nepal, need volunteers to implement workshops based on educating Villagers of health and hygiene concerns. Running workshops that direct and model how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Speecher:
The lack of education goes throughout the adults. Foreigners with charism and determination will be welcome to help us by doing speeches about women rights and empowerment, the environment, healthcare, hygiene etc.. Further they should plan different kind of programs in this fields, like recycling, health campaigns and so on.
More and more farmers use pesticide and chemicals for their fields. It kills their land and they don't know anything about it. Volunteers have to explain the risks about chemical agriculture.
Most of the people are not educated, unhygienic and they are not using toilets or even build toilet in their home. It causes sanitaries issues and diseases.
Help us to explain what a lack of hygiene can lead and talk about what can be the consequences.
Furthermore, they don't care about their environment. They throw their trash everywhere and don't use bins. That's why it is very important to raise awareness in that field.
The schedule is not determinate.
