Fundraising for Nepal – an update 🇳🇵
At the end of August, when a catastrophic flash flood struck Nepal’s Rasuwa district, we asked for your help to raise funds for emergency relief for the Nepali people whose lives had been devastated by the disaster. We appealed on behalf of Shiva Charity and for one of our Sherpa friends, Suneram, who lost his wife and home in the floods.
We want to say a huge thank you for every single donation. Your generosity has genuinely made a significant difference to Suneram and to hundreds of Nepali people so desperately in need. Here’s an update on both appeals.
Suneram Tamang
To date, you have donated £8,600, which is going directly to Suneram to build a new home on higher ground near Trisuli Bazaar, with enough land to grow vegetables. We spoke to Suneram last month, and he was immensely grateful for all your support.
Shiva Charity
Shiva Charity’s emergency appeal has so far raised almost £24,000, and we know that MK clients have made a big difference to that total.
The initial funds were used to supply 200 Water Survival Boxes to families who had lost their homes. Each box contains essential emergency items, including a water filtration pump, tarpaulin, cooking utensils, tools, solar lights, basic healthcare items and toiletries.
Shiva is now working in partnership with an amazing organisation, REACT Disaster Response. With access to a helicopter, as well as incredibly determined staff on the ground, they have been delivering desperately needed food, clothing, hygiene supplies, fuel and power to hundreds of families in remote villages cut off from all road access.
The REACT team has also found a way through landslides and rivers on foot to reach a shelter for children who had been orphaned or separated from their families by the floods. The children had been without supplies for 10 days, but thanks to the REACT volunteers and local people working closely with them, they now have fresh food, drinking water and essential dry goods.
