Left: Shrijana Karki (26) has taken shelter with her two boys (Sid 4, Arun 7 - names have been changed) between two parked cars in a shed after their home was damaged in the earthquake that struck Nepal on 25th April 2015. She fled their rented apartment with just two hundred rupees (about $2 US). Her husband who worked in a hotel has been left out of a job by the earthquake. 'I don't know what we'll do. I haven't slept properly in four nights. I'm too afraid to go home.' Homelessness and joblessness are a joint curse for many families previously renting accommodation in the city.<br />
