SAPPROS
A long-standing partner of CECI since the organization’s establishment in Nepal in 1990. Following Nepal’s democratization, SAPPROS contributed to the development of an independent and professional national NGO sector.
On November 3, 2023, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck Jajarkot district, killing 154 people and injuring 366. The disaster damaged over 75,000 houses across ten districts, severely disrupting livelihoods, causing losses in livestock and agricultural production, and limiting access to water, creating precarious living conditions.
In response, CECI Montréal launched an appeal for donations to support relief and recovery efforts in Karnali province. With the funds collected, CECI partnered with SAPPROS Nepal to implement short-term recovery activities in the earthquake-affected areas, supporting six interventions: (i) commercial vegetable farming using low-cost, climate-smart technologies, (ii) construction of goat shelters, (iii) construction of beehive shelters, (iv) restoration of drinking water supply systems, (v) restoration of surface irrigation canals, and (vi) installation of electric mills.
