We need to look out for funding agencies as many as possible (starting with 5-10) and then contact them for our project.
Make a list with all the contact information (website address, email, contact person) and the organization overview (i.e. where they help, whether the construction of latrines fits into their mandate)

Project: Construction of Latrines in Sikharpa

Dear Riwathi,
I'd like to ask if you already have contacted government agencies in your country. I think we can start there. International agencies operating in your country is a help too. we will try to find some.
Best regards,
JUnjun
Hi all,

Hello Rewati and all other Neighbours,
I am the new Facilitator for Sikharpa. I have made changes in the Steps and Tasks and I invite you all to make a contribution to one or more of them! :-D
I will be away for 2.5 weeks for a trip to India. In the meantime Romina Oliverio (romina@nabuur.com) will take over my duties. Sorry, trip was already planned before I became Facilitator... :-?
Rewati is also available for any questions you have about the project. I will be back on september 25th and hopefully I can close of a Task or two and post a result!
To all of you Neighbours, if you come across a result.....you can post it on our results-page!
Bye for now

Namaste!
I do think it might be a good idea to contact a responsible tour operator, for advice about building laterines. Because they take care of foreign tourists, as a business, there is a great deal of institutional knowledge within their set-ups, of issues to do with sanitation.
Please contact Raj the founder and owner of "social tours", which is a responsible tour operator. He is a very nice and extremely helpful gentleman. It might be worth your while, to establish a relationship with his company - so that they could bring "volun-tourists", to your village on a regular basis.
And because of the link, the company might want to help with the project - and enhance further, it green credentials: whiles ensuring the comfort of its clients! This is Raj's email address: raj@socialtreks.com
Thank you for having me as a neighbour - and regards to you all!
Best wishes,
Kofi.

Hello there,
is there anyone who knows some organisations that can fund the building of latrines?
we need to make a list including application forms and criteria lists.
Which Neighbour can make a start by browsing through the resource section and other villages on nabuur?

Dear Claudia and ALL,
In Nepal, probably there is no some organisations that can fund the building of latrines.

Dear Rewati, Claudia and Neighbours
I have taken responsibility for this task - searching for funding agencies for the constructions of latrine in Sikharpa.
Any input would be great! Any suggestions can be added directly to 'wiki' resource page. Please get as many details as possible including:
- contact information (preferably a name of a person)
- website and e-mail address
- criteria for receiving funding
- forms for funding
As the funding application process can be very lengthy, the sooner we can start contacting funding bodies the better!
best wishes to all
Rachel
