News from Lokhim & the project
One hundred and fifty kilometers to the south of Mount Everest, on the hills of the Solukhumbu district in Nepal, stands Lokhim. About 700 families and 4000 people from Rai, Sherpa and Tamang ethnies live in this village, raising cattle and cultivating crops on the steep mountain slopes.
In Lokhim, there is no drinkable water, no tap water, no electricity, no phone, no decent medical center. To reach it, one must walk days from the closest road. Lokhim is just one of many remote villages in Nepal.
This website presents a solidarity project that empowers the villagers of Lokhim to improve their though life. The Lokhim biogas project is a sustainable enabling scheme making biogas accessible to Lokhim's families. Biogas brings fundamental things to facilitate and improve their life: light, cooking gas, fertilizer, and perhaps most importantly, more opportunities to educate children.
The Lokhim Biogas Project was created and is operated by people who believe in a different world and are acting to make it happen. People who have been and are involved at every stage of the program from the idea to the construction of Biogas units. People who know and care about Lokhim.
