Kathmandu, June 6 The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) today signed agreements with the Ministry of Urban Development and five international non-governmental organisations to rebuild 8,100 private houses destroyed by the earthquakes of last April and May. As per the agreement, Nepal Red Cross Society will build 6,000 houses, Helvetas Nepal will build 1,000 houses, Samaritan’s Purse will build 500 houses, Habitat for Humanity will build 350 houses and EWDE-DKH will build 250 houses.
