The
April 2015 Nepal earthquake also known as the Gorkha earthquake, killed more
than 8, 800 people and injured more than 23, 000 people. Hundred of thousands
of people were made homeless with entire villages flattened, across many
districts of the country.
1) Medical Supplies
My community can
provide emergency care to survivors, as well as deliver much-needed medical
supplies.
2) Food Supplies
This is a network of international and Nepali
development workers and activists with over a decade of direct disaster relief
experience. Through connections with local organisations in Kathmandu and
surrounding areas, these people know where support is most needed in the region
– and how to get it there. The group is focused on supporting small- to
mid-level grassroots organisations that have the capacity to support locally
led disaster relief and recovery. Immediate funding will go towards emergency
supplies (food, tents, water purification, assisting camps in Kathmandu
neighbourhoods). In the longer term, they will turn to promoting self-reliance,
supporting projects that are sustainable and will bring hope in the years to
come.
