Bidhya Laxmi Prajapati, 45, (R) smiles as she works with a pick axe as she clears debris at her former house damaged during the April 2015 earthquake, together with family and neighbours on April 24, 2016 in Kathmandu, Nepal. Bidhya recently started rebuilding her house which collapsed during last year's earthquake after deciding not to wait any further for compensation promised by the government. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal close to midday on April 25 lasts year. It was Nepal's worse earthquake in history as an estimated 9,000 people died and countless towns and villages across central Nepal were destroyed. Based on reports, the government promised 2,000 USD to affected households but has only paid out a fraction of the amount so far and an estimated 660,000 families are still living in sub-standard temporary shelters or unsafe accommodation one year later.
