Nurture and Thrive: Merit Green Initiative

SUPPORT THE MERIT GREEN INITIATIVE! Join us for the green path to prosperity through the MERIT GREEN INITIATIVE event organized by Merit in the picturesque region of Chapakot, Nepal. Recognizing the crucial role of roads as the backbone of rural life, this initiative aims to address the persistent issue of landslides caused by the construction of new roads in hilly areas. By implementing strategic afforestation measures, we seek to protect these vital off-roads while promoting economic upliftment for the local communities. For this afforestation program we are focusing on two indigenous shrubs namely Nigalo (Arundinaria falcata) and Amriso (Broom Grass). In Chapakot, where landslides pose an annual threat, our program focuses on planting trees that not only provide environmental benefits but also offer economic opportunities to the villagers. We are dedicated to selecting plant species that can be fully utilized for livelihood improvement, such as those yielding valuable raw materials for handicrafts, fodder for cattle, eco-friendly broom and so. Through community involvement and sustainable practices, the Merit Green Initiative program aims to create a win-win situation, safeguarding the roads from landslides while empowering the villagers with economic prospects. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey towards a greener, more prosperous future for Chapakot and its residents.
