In a nutshell:

Villages in Nepal don't have the same garbage collection services that many of us do in our communities.  Noticing the adverse affect of the trash build-up in their village, the community members of Chandrapata, Nepal have taken the problem into their own hands, even separating organic trash from non-biodegradable trash.  But in order to set-up an effective, long-term solution that will protect their crops, livestock, and lives, they need a small investment from us.

Their plan is to set up a trash-collection and recycling program that the village youth will run. The program will generate funds through recycling, and the revenue will benefit the youth's sports programs, providing both an incentive and social benefit for them.  The community is ready to go and is even footing half the bill, but they still need $600 to make this project happen.
