Conscious Impact is a sustainable rural development non-profit based in the village of Takure, Nepal.
Conscious Impact was founded by Orion Haas and Allen Gula following the April 2015 Nepal Earthquake. [1] When the earthquake occurred, Hass and Gula had been trekking in the Himalayan region of the country. They physically felt the earthquake and saw the destruction of the earthquake.
After a short-term crowdfunding campaign to support initial rebuilding efforts, Haas and Gula established Conscious Impact to provide continued support to the community of Takure, a low-income, farming village in the Sindhupalchowk District, about 30 miles northeast of Kathmandu. [2] [3] Conscious Impact chose to base itself in Takure because of the extreme devastation from the earthquake in the village, with 244 of 245 structures being destroyed. [3]
Conscious Impact focuses sustainable and resilient community development. To rebuild homes, it uses sustainable "earth bricks" made of locally-sourced materials. [4] [5]
Conscious Impact hosts international volunteers and partners with local Nepali community members. [6]
