F.a: SUS: Uplift Community Development Program Poverty is the core problem of the project areas and beneficiaries, resulting problems that include food insecurity and widespread malnutrition, illiteracy and lack of access to employment opportunities and inaccessibility to basic facilities such as water
 and sanitation. Most Dalits are deprived of their basic human rights such as citizenship and land-rights.  Similarly most children are deprived even of primary education, and there are cases of high early drop-outs. Caste and gender based discriminations 
against women and socially excluded people still prevail thus depriving them of public service delivery such as income generating, health, education, and access to social security benefits. The project, that covers three districts, Morang, Sarlahi and Chit
wan, aims to tackle these problems with the objective that the poor and excluded people are socially, economically and legally empowered.
