4. Shova Shakya
Occupation: Housewife Household includes: Husband Deepak (driver) and two children (Saroj is a handicraft worker) Their pre-earthquake house was a three-storey structure with storage in the roof space, divided in two and shared between Deepak and his brother. The house had been destroyed in the earthquake but with private funding they cleared the site and were provided with a basic vaulted shelter of one room. There is a self-built toilet to the back of the shelter and a drain to the rear, which is used for food waste and grey water. The property is adjacent to the entrance gate of Bungamati and situated south-west of a communal sunken courtyard where the family socialises with their neighbours. The main crossroads, connecting the site with the bus-stop, the ridge road and the road to Khokana lies adjacent to a large water tank with a tap system. Between the sunken court and the road to Khokana a large sewage pipe has been exposed in the monsoon rains- this may have some potential for the waste services on this site.
