ACTED has been supporting the populations in the Okhaldhunga district, in East Nepal, since the two earthquakes last year. To support households during the cold winter season in Nepal, ACTED has been implementing a winterization project to provide populations living in highlands with a warmer shelter and crucial items such as blankets and clothing. Teams have also conducted masons trainings to build back safer shelters to get through winter. Like in other districts, ACTED has been distributing over 5,500 tarpaulins and 2,700 shelter kits. Food packages benefitted to 500 households in the district, and 37,000 cash for work activities were implemented.
