Under the UTHAN Project, supported by Caritas Nepal, Caritas Germany, and CRS Nepal, and implemented by PACE Nepal in coordination with Tilagufa Municipality, a 5-day masonry training on Lime Stabilized Soil (LSS) technology was successfully conducted in Tilagufa Municipality, Kalikot, from 11–16 April 2026.
The training oriented local masons on earthquake-resistant construction techniques, building codes, and the use of locally available materials. A total of 16 skilled masons participated and enhanced their understanding of material quality and correct proportions for safer construction practices.
As part of the practical learning, a demo shelter using LSS technology was completed, showcasing sustainable and resilient construction methods for local adoption.
Participants have committed to promoting safe construction practices and building structures in line with earthquake safety standards, contributing to long-term community resilience.
