Life in rural Nepal is hard.

Life is simple but hard in rural Nepal with just the basics of survival to be considered. Many families live in houses as below and have to preform tasks as washing in the river and feeding the animals through cutting grass. Its a male dominated society which is changing slowly and you will always find the ladies of Nepal as some of the hardest workers in the world.

The first photo is of a typical Tharu house in the southern regions of Nepal, made of everything they can find locally so its easy to repair and maintain.

The second is of two young ladies performing a typical task in rural Nepal. Every family has livestock and its usually the girls job to feed them by cutting grass and carrying it back home.

The third is related to something we all take for granted the washing machine. In rural Nepal people dont often have electricity so daily chores are done by hand.
