HELVETAS-NEPAL/ RIVERBED FARMING: A Path To Hope In Kankai River
For generations, impoverished and overlooked communities situated on the banks of the Kankai River in the ward 6 of Kankai Municipality, located 600 kilometers southeast of the capital city, Nepal, have endured constant turmoil and destruction from the river. However, with the introduction of the River Bed Farming (RbF) project by Helvetas Nepal in 2016, the rich soil, sand, and water from the annual flood of the Kankai River have played a significant role in uplifting the lives of these communities, moving them from poverty to wealth, and filling their lives with joy and contentment. The RbF program, spearheaded by Helvetas Nepal in collaboration with local NGOs such as Forward and the district governments, has effectively shown how the unused flood-prone banks of rivers, which mainly stem from the northern high hills, can be utilized to not only alleviate suffering but also to foster prosperity and happiness within rural communities. These communities, which have been plagued by the yearly devastation caused by the Kankai River, have managed to transform the disaster into a stepping stone towards prosperity.
