Disaster Prevention:The community center inauguration and handover ceremony in Indrawati Rural Municipality, Sindhupalchok.
We were thrilled to witness the vibrant spirit of community coming together at the recent community center inauguration and handover ceremony in Sindhupalchok🏡
🇯🇵🇳🇵During the first year, under the Eco Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) project, JAFS with implementing partner AFS, completed the construction of the community center . The community centre will be the center hub for the Indrawati Rural Municipality that aims to enhance disaster prevention capabilities in the Rural Municipality.
The main objective of setting up a community center is to unite for collective action, finding shared solutions for disaster prevention, and promoting overall community welfare through mutual assistance. This involves forming disaster prevention committees, organizing diverse activities, facilitating public broadcasting, warehouses, and implementing measures to prevent landslides.
🇯🇵🇳🇵Japan Asian Association and Asian friendship Society (JAFS) 公益社団法人アジア協会アジア友の会 with the support of the Japan Government Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Embassy of Japan in Nepal has handed over a Community Center for Disaster Prevention to Indrawati Rural Municipality in Sindhupalchowk District. The community center inauguration and handover ceremony was carried out in the presence of Honourable His Excellency Ambassador of Japan to Nepal Mr. Kikuta Yutaka, along with Mr. Katsuhiro Shinohara, JAFS President, and Mr. Watanabe Haruhiko, Mr. Tadashi Matsubara, Board of Directors JAFS and local representatives from the Indrawati Rural Municipality.
Together with the participation of local peoples, fostering partnerships to empower local initiatives, we celebrated the successful opening and handover ceremony, marking a new chapter in Sindhupalchok's journey towards prosperity and resilience. 🎉
