Nepal Floods Emergency Appeal
On 26 August, a sudden flash flood surged down the Bhote Koshi River, devastating communities in Nepal. Families have lost their homes, possessions and livelihoods.
Your support is urgently needed to help families get vital emergency assistance.
DONATE
“The flooding has left affected families without homes, possessions, and livelihoods, and has raised concerns about the spread of waterborne diseases due to damaged water and sanitation infrastructure.”
— Mona Sherpa, Country Director, CARE Nepal
Why CARE and what your gift provides
CARE is coordinating with local partners and preparing lifesaving assistance for women, children, older people and those with disabilities who can face greater risks and barriers in the aftermath of a disaster.
Your donation today could help provide:
- CARE PACKAGE® for Emergencies – a compact disaster kit with essential items to help a family of 4 to meet their shelter, kitchen, water and hygiene needs for an entire month
- Emergency shelter
- Food and clean water
- Hygiene supplies
- Dignity kits for women and girls
Should the funds raised through this emergency appeal exceed the amount required to meet the immediate and longer-term needs of people affected by the emergency, or if changing circumstances affect CARE’s ability to use the funds as originally intended, CARE will redirect funds to other emergency response activities that are consistent with CARE’s humanitarian mission.
