On 8 June 2023, CEMSOJ inaugurated a 6 kW Saleni Taar Pico Hydropower Project at Khairang village of Raksirang rural municipality in remote hills of Makawanpur district in southern Nepal. The Project implemented under the second phase of CEMSOJ’s Community-based Renewable Energy Project (CbREP) initiative will bring stable hydroelectricity for the first time to between 40 to 60 indigenous Tamang and Chepang families in the area.
Thanks to the indigenous Tamang and Chepang communities’ members for putting their trust on us and contribution through labour for the Project, the Pawanka Fund for continued financial support to the CbREP initiative, the Right Energy Partnership with Indigenous Peoples (REP) for facilitating the support and the Asia Indigenous Peoples Network on Extractive Industries and Energy (AIPNEE) for fiscal sponsorship.
