are these districts classified as mountain areas ?

Perhaps, Regmi can also comment on this, as I think you know why I have asked this question.

if your project is the first of its kind, what kind of sanitation facilities were provided to these refugees ?

I dont know what type of international aid does Nepal get to help refugees but I presume that the refugees would not sit idle unless they are enclosed in their camps. They probably do grow some of their food.

Information on this, sanitation system,  food production, garbage disposal, etc., would be appreciated.
