Your Support is Reaching Families in Nepal
ShelterBox distributions are now underway, and your support is already making a difference.
This week, 460 families in Nuwakot District received tarpaulins and essential household items, including sleeping mats, rope and pillows. Working with Islamic Relief and Rotary, these supplies were procured locally so we could begin helping families as quickly as possible.
Additional ShelterBox aid has also arrived in Kathmandu, including family tents, tarpaulins, rope and solar lights. Working with our partner People In Need, these supplies will be transported by helicopter to remote communities that remain cut off by damaged roads and collapsed bridges.
Because of you, families are getting the essential items they need to begin recovering.
Thousands of Families Still Need Help
Nearly two weeks after the devastating floods, the response is moving from search and rescue toward relief and recovery. But for many families, the crisis is far from over.
Roads and bridges have been destroyed, isolating mountainous communities. In some areas, helicopters remain the only way to deliver essential aid.
Thousands of people are still displaced, and the full scale of housing damage is not yet known because some of the hardest-hit communities remain difficult to access. The threat of further flooding is making the situation even more challenging.
We are getting aid into Nepal, but more families are still waiting for help.
Your gift today can help provide emergency shelter and essential supplies to families who have lost so much.
