Nepal Earthquake Appeal
Over 8,000 people died during the devastating earthquakes that struck Nepal on 25th April and 12th May 2015, and a further 23,000 suffered life-changing injuries. Many buildings were destroyed leaving families homeless and with limited water, food and fuel supplies.
Health Exchange Nepal reacted quickly by launching our £100,000 fundraising appeal, seeking donations to help provide immediate relief in the form of:
Packing and distribution of 5000 earthquake survival packs consisting of rice, lentil, high energy biscuit, blanket, jug, water purification tablet and a family tent.
Collect and send supplies of essential orthopaedic materials to Dhulikhel Hospital, in collaboration with Diabetacare
A medical team of eighteen volunteer doctors sent to the worst affected areas in the district of Gorkha.
A specialist mobility and rehabilitation team
Semi-permanent corrugated metal shelters
In March 2016, we hit that £100,000 target, having received donations from all around the world.
We can't stop now. A year on, Nepalese communities still need our help, so please give what you can and donate now.
