KIKUTA Yutaka, Ambassador of Japan to Nepal visited Balefi Rural Municipality, Sindhupalchok District to participate in the handover ceremony of water supply facilities under “the Project for Improving Water Access and Agriculture Income”.
As a part of the project supported by the Government of Japan under the Grant Assistance for Japanese NGO Projects schemes, the Peace Winds Japan, a Japanese NGO, has been implementing the project since 2020, constructing water supply facilities in Sindhupalchowk District. The project aims to improve access to water for daily needs and to support agriculture. This project has also provided training for the local people so that the water supply facilities can be operated and managed by them after the completion of the project.
On this occasion, Ambassador Kikuta congratulated and thanked all those involved in the construction of the water supply facilities for their efforts. The Ambassador expressed his hope that the facilities would become a community asset and contribute to the development of the region and that the cooperation of the local people would ensure the long-term effect of this facility.
