    On 25 April 2015, a devastating earthquake hit Nepal, withthe epicentre in Gorkha District. This was followed byhundreds of aftershocks of differing magnitude, includingthat of 12 May 2015, with its epicentre in Dolakha District,which shook the hills, triggering a number of landslidesand creating cracks that affected agricultural land andlivelihood infrastructures, in particular irrigation, watersupply schemes, roads, trails and buildings. This, in turn,affected the food security of the earthquake-affectedfamilies. The monsoon that followed the earthquakeexacerbated the problem of slope instability in theseshaken hills, further worsening the situation.The project worked towards the rehabilitation oflivelihood infrastructure in order to support thelivelihoods of earthquake-affected households. This wasthe most urgent need for the communities most seriouslyaffected by the earthquake.
