Nepal needs our help - Urgent action needed following devastating flash floods
Dear Friends and Supporters,
It is with a deeply heavy heart that I share the devastating news coming from Nepal. The recent flash floods have caused catastrophic destruction across the country, setting many communities back by decades.
More than 10,000 people are reported missing, and the loss of life and scale of destruction are heartbreaking. Among the most tragic reports is the loss of students at a school where approximately 1,600 students were present. Only around 100 were able to escape, while many others are still missing.
The destruction extends far beyond individual communities. At least 27 motorable bridges and 23 hydropower plants have been severely affected or destroyed. Cities and villages have been devastated, countless homes and thousands of vehicles have been washed away, and many animals have also been lost. In some areas, people can no longer travel to the capital easily because critical roads and bridges have been destroyed.
Government and private offices, their staff, security personnel, and many others have been affected. Army and police personnel are among those missing, as are foreign visitors, including bikers and climbers who were traveling in the affected regions.
The words and numbers cannot fully describe the devastation. Please take a moment to watch the videos below to see the situation firsthand.

Nepal is facing an enormous humanitarian crisis, and the need for help is urgent.
We are reaching out to friends, supporters, and communities across the cities where we have connections to ask for your help. We are also preparing to travel to the affected areas ourselves, together with volunteers, to assist wherever we can.
They need all the help we can provide.
Your donation can help provide emergency medical supplies, food, water, transportation, and other essential assistance to people who have lost their homes, livelihoods, and loved ones.
If you are able to contribute, please consider making a donation or sharing this appeal with others. Every contribution, no matter the size, can make a difference during this devastating time.
Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, concerns, and support for the people of Nepal. Our hearts are with everyone affected by this tragedy.
