The US will train 3 lakh people in Nepal on how to build strong houses under a US $8 million aid programme, months after two deadly temblors shook the country and claimed nearly 9,000 lives.
The US, through the US Agency for International Development (USAID), has announced three initiatives to support the Nepal's model of owner-driven housing reconstruction following the April 25 and May 12 earthquakes.
Building on previous investments, USAID programmes will train an estimated 13,500 local construction professionals and educate over 285,000 affected homeowners on building earthquake-resistant homes over the next five years.
