Nepal Flood Relief:
An Urgent Call for Action

Disaster Response | Flood Relief and Rebuilding

Background

Severe flooding has devastated Nepal, claiming over 250 lives and isolating the capital, Kathmandu. The floods have impacted more than 10,000 families, with schools closed and livelihoods destroyed. Underprivileged communities, especially children and daily workers, are in desperate need of aid. In response, Trek Relief is teaming up with The Small World to provide immediate relief and long-term support to help these communities recover.

Join Our Mission

This isn’t just a call to action—it’s an opportunity to make a tangible difference. By supporting this project, you’ll be directly involved in delivering essential resources like food, clean water, and medical supplies to those affected. Your support will help vulnerable children return to school and aid families in rebuilding their lives. Whether through donations or hands-on assistance, your contribution plays a vital role in our mission to restore hope in Nepal.
