To celebrate Hyatt’s 8th Global Month of Community Service, associates from Hyatt Regency Kathmandu volunteered with Habitat for Humanity Nepal to help re-build an earthquake-affected family in Panchkhal, Kavre on April 23.
The Hyatt Global Month of Community Service program encourages hotels around the world to give something back to the communities they call home. A total of 30 associates from different departments participated in the construction activity in an effort to strengthen their commitment and bond with the local communities.
The team of associates traveled 47 kilometers to volunteer in building a house for 56-year-old Lata Man Tamang, living in Panchkal. His house was completely destroyed during the earthquakes in 2015. The Participatory Approach for Safe Shelter Awareness (PASSA), a group formed as part of Habitat Nepal’s Nepal Earthquake Assistance Program, identified as one of the most vulnerable persons in the community, allowing him to receive extra support, such as goods-in-kind, top-ups and labor support, on top of the typical reconstruction grants offered to rebuild his house.
