Project Overview

This project is situated in the city of Patan, otherwise known as Lalitpur, which is located in the south-central part of Kathmandu Valley. 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. Lumanti lent funds to the Thecho Mahila Jagaran (Women’s) Cooperative, which in turn allocated individual loans to member households. The clients were required to repay their loan, using an agreed repayment schedule, with the funds revolved again by Lumanti to support other housing improvement projects throughout Nepal.

The new homeowners previously lived in housing which often caused multiple threats to their health and security, as well as a lack of access to basic services such as water. Patan also received significant damage from the 2015 earthquake, which displaced nearly 2.8 million people, causing many families to lose their homes. As part of the project the community was trained in housing and infrastructure construction, and given technical, financial and management skills. This allowed each household to construct a safe, permanent house fully serviced with electricity, household water and sanitation.
