Welcome to my All Hands Nepal fundraising page!  On April 25th, a 7.8 earthquake hit Nepal near the capital city of Kathmandu, the worst of its kind in more than 80 years. More than 9,000 people were killed, a further 23,000 were injured and the mass destruction to infrastructure and homes was vast. Aftershocks continued to shake the country in the weeks that followed causing further fear for those who left homeless and vulnerable by the initial earthquake. Basic necessities of livelihood continue to be at risk, including access to food, clean water and sanitation. The government of Nepal declared a state of emergency and asked for international agencies to lend support. That’s where All Hands Volunteers comes in. 

Our team on the ground has been coordinating groups of local and residential volunteers to assist the people of Nepal. We have supported Catholic Relief Services, Unicef and local NGOs in distributing thousands of emergency supplies (shelter and sanitation kits, food, water) and creating child friendly spaces in Kathmandu. Meanwhile, our teams in Sindhupalchok are demolishing unsafe buildings and removing rubble and debris from homeowner’s property and roads.

Soon after All Hands’ immediate humanitarian response efforts were underway, we began to look toward the difficult rebuilding process which must take place in Nepal in order for the country to recover. Our Rebuild Team has boots on the ground in Kathmandu and is working with a variety of partners to build earthquake resilient homes and Temporary Learning Centers. 

Please give today so we can help the people of Nepal now, in their time of crisis.
