Durga is also a highly engaged social worker. In rural villages of remote places such as the Rasuwa district people mainly live self-sufficient and often the food that is grown (mainly barley, wheat and potatoes) is often not enough to feed its inhabitants during the four harsh winter months let alone financing education for the youngsters. Being a half orphan himself and coming from a very poor background Durga knows of the importance of receiving a decent education and started his mission for the new generation. In order to support the people of his home district Rasuwa he established the local NGO “Rural Tourism and Environment Education Society” (RTEES Nepal) in 2009.

The gain from this ultimately goes to the schools and children of the communities. RTEES Nepal is therefore proud to support five schools, Buddhist Monastery and is actively involved in local development.
