Overview
The village, Thrule Shabru, can only be reached by an 8-hour bus ride from Kathmandu ending in Shabru Besi, from where it takes approximately 3 hours to climb the mountain vertically to reach the village of Thrule Shabru.
This village was located in the center of the earthquake, and about 70% of the village was destroyed.
The sitortion after the earthquake in Nepal was catastrophic.
Here are some recent pictures.
Meeting
The result of the meeting:
The first thing that was talked about was the size and design of the house, and the first difficulties arose.
If I had built this house before the earthquake it would have been € 7,000, but now, after the earthquake, prices have increased by almost 100%.
There are hardly any workers, and building materials have become immensely expensive. In addition, the cost of transporting the Nepalese-style natural stone has risen immensely,
and in this case the stones must be brought to the village 1.5 kilometers away.
The house with the internal dimensions about 10 x 8 meters, with wooden door and wooden windows, a gable roof made of zinc sheet, kitchens and toilets outside, simple water connections and light is currently !! approx. 11,000.- € – 13,000.- € (prices are still rising)
This includes all costs, material, working hours, transport
That means: There are about 5,000.- € – 6,000.- € to realize this project.
We start to rebuild the house in 2016
and the house was completed in 2018

I hope so far to have given a small overview, and ask for feedback, and suggestions regarding this project.
All the best and good luck
