One person has offered to take a personal loan for the total cost of the JCB excavator - $43,000 USD - so that the work does not stall and the road stays open. This way the JCB can be obtained immediately before the monsoon season, while the loan is repaid gradually every month.
But before we can allow the personal loan to proceed, we need to secure steady support to cover the initial monthly repayments, so that the individual taking the loan in their own name is not left carrying that risk alone and does not have any issues with the bank and the system.
What is needed immediately is $3,200 to make the purchase, and then $600 a month for the installments.
A narrow mountain road connects Kurukullā Devī Temple to the world. When it closes, everything pauses.
This effort is to keep the road open - year after year.
The terrain is steep and prone to landslides, especially during monsoon season. When the road is blocked, movement stops. Work pauses. Access becomes difficult and many times impossible and dangerous.
A JCB excavator allows the road to be cleared and maintained consistently.
- Reliable year-round access
- Faster and more safe response to landslides
- Continued progress of temple construction
- Support for the surrounding community
If you resonate with this, you are welcome to contribute.
Most contributions are around $64 - $108.
The total cost of acquiring a JCB is approximately
40 lakhs INR (~€40,000 / ~$43,000 USD).
This is a significant, yet very doable collective effort.
