Project Overview

Located in Tokha, within Kathmandu valley, this project was designed to expand the availability of water provision with the area, and ensure that water is available year-round. It was fully financed by revolved funds from previous Lumanti projects, which is a great example of how housing finance can be used cyclically to have greater impact. The Junela Mahila (Women’s) Cooperative was lent funds by Lumanti, which then on-lent loans to individual households, funding the facilitation of water delivery to their houses. With an average loan of $120 USD, 20 water connections were completed. The clients were given two years to repay the loan with an interest rate of just 6% per annum.
