Nepal Floods Emergency Appeal
The people who can help are already there. Please equip them.
Devastating flash floods have torn through communities along Nepal’s Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river corridors. More than 1,000 people have died and over 4,000 are missing. Local VSO volunteers are on the ground in flood-hit communities. They know every village, every family, every passable road. What they don't have is the supplies to act. They need emergency funding. Your gift today will equip them to save lives. Donate now.
What we know
You'll have seen the pictures in the news. Whole hillsides swept away. Homes reduced to mud. Families searching for people they love.
Devastating flash floods have torn through communities along Nepal's Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river corridors. More than 1,000 people have lost their lives. Over 4,000 people are missing. Families have lost loved ones, homes, belongings, and livelihoods. Roads and bridges are gone, cutting communities off from the services they desperately need.
What we're doing
Local VSO volunteers need urgent support to reach girls, women, and families devastated by the floods.
VSO doesn't fly people in. Our volunteers live in the worst affected communities. And they were helping their neighbours before the water receded.
They're identifying who needs help most: children, women, families, who've lost everything. They know what's needed - clean water, hygiene supplies, essential household items and shelter. And how to get it to people others can't reach. But they can't do it without your help.
The emergency won't end when the floodwaters recede.
The days and weeks ahead are critical. Families will need support not only to survive today, but to recover, rebuild and prepare for the future. Your donation delivers urgent relief now and the volunteers you equip will stay for the long-term. It is their home too.
How your gift will help
- £50 equips a volunteer with a kits for children to keep them safe and as healthy as possible at a time when they've lost almost everything else.
- £85 could provide women with clothing, soap, toothpaste and other hygiene products – along with emergency accommodation giving them somewhere safe to stay.
- £345 could set up mini schools so VSO volunteers can get children learning and safe whilst their schools are rebuilt.
- £845 could build secure places where people – particularly mums and children – can stay safely whilst they start to rebuild their lives.
