Community-Led Hygiene and Sanitation Initiative Concludes in Rapti Municipality
SOLVE Nepal has concluded its Community Hygiene, Sanitation, and Social Behaviour Change Initiative in the Chepang community of Rapti Municipality–13, Chitwan. The programme, supported by the NCELL Foundation and implemented in coordination with Rapti Municipality, ran from 17 to 21 Mangsir 2082 (December 2025).
The initiative used the REFLECT methodology—Reflective Learning for Empowerment through Community Techniques—to train five local facilitators from the Chepang community. The five-day programme covered personal hygiene, environmental cleanliness, disease prevention, gender equality, prevention of child marriage, and community mobilisation.
Following the training, facilitators conducted awareness sessions for at least 25 community members, including women, men, and school-aged children. A follow-up monitoring visit on 10 February 2026 found measurable improvements in household hygiene practices and a notable increase in community dialogue on child protection and education.
Mayor Shamsher Lama of Rapti Municipality noted that sustainable public health gains require informed communities, not only infrastructure. REFLECT Facilitator Sona Lal Chaudhary confirmed that the training has translated into regular grassroots awareness sessions.
