Then and Now: Mirge Village, Dolakha

Then and Now revisits a completed project to report what is happening today: what lasted, what changed, and what we learned.

Then

Between 2018 and 2023, the Rotary Club of Patan supported Mirge Village in Dolakha through three linked efforts with Rotary partners abroad:

• Quality education and improved water supply (Global Grant GG1641893, with RC Wollaton Park, UK; closed July 2020): water supply for 120 families and education support for about 250 school children.
• Vocational training for 30 youth: a three-month computer and English/Nepali typing course at Laliguras English Boarding School, 25 April – 20 July 2018.
• Ambulance to rural hospital (Global Grant GG2129083, with RC Altadena, USA and RC Wollaton Park, UK; closed 2023).

Now

We are gathering a current update from the community on the water supply, the school, the ambulance service and the trainees. We will add it here, with what we have learned, once it has been verified.
