‘The government gives us Rs 15,000, but Rs 15,000 is not enough!’

‘The government gives us Rs 15,000, but Rs 15,000 is not enough!’

“My husband works on construction sites, and I make wool thread. I earn Rs 140 per day. The earthquake took away my house and since then me and my husband have been living in this zinc shelter. I don’t like to stay here. Building a house is our dream. The government gives us Rs 15,000, but Rs 15,000 is not enough! We don’t have a single thread of hope for making a new house!”
