The project is progressing well through March

By the middle of the month, the ground floor walls are being topped off. Lintels are going in above the windows

A workshop is held with the Mayors and Deputy Mayors of all 10 Palikas of Sankhuwasabha about the sustainable operation of the Safe House. A committee has been formed to draft the operation procedures where each Palika has to contribute funds every year.

After three weeks of March, the first floor suspended slab form work is nearing completion. Soon the first floor slab will be poured.
