Temporary shelter next to a repaired house Limbu, Bina

Description

Many people have not been able to rebuild their houses after the 2015 earthquake for a variety of reasons. Official papers, which many lack if they do not own their own land, and recommendations are needed to access the government housing grants, so many households will end up being exclude from the government reconstruction efforts. Taken during the 1st phase of fieldwork conducted by the research team based at Social Science Baha in Kathmandu, Nepal, as part of the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant, ‘Expertise, Labour and Mobility in Nepal’s Post-Conflict, Post-Disaster Reconstruction’.
