To all of our amazing supporters,
This year was a tough year for Nepal and we couldn't have got through it without you. Your words of encouragement and your donations have meant a great deal to everyone here in Nepal during these scary times.
The earthquake killed over 9 000 people, injured more than 23 000 and left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. It destroyed entire villages, triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing 19, and another in the Langtang Valley, where 250 people were reported missing. It destroyed centries-old buildings and UNESCO world heritage sites. After-shocks were felt regularly after the initial quake and landslides were a continuous risk, compounded with the monsoon season hitting. And experts have warned that for decades to come, Nepal will be vulnerable to another quake.
It has been devastating.
Your donations have provided hundreds of essential supplies like water and food, emergency kits and materials to start rebuilding homes and shelters. We have also replaced children's school supplies and helped put in place safe evacuation paths and procedures.
And we aren't done yet. The monsoon meant that we weren't able to carry on with re-building efforts, but we have been working with Himalayan Encounters and we have plans in place for rebuilding a local school. If you are interested in following our further progress, please click the links below where we will continue to post updates and report on our efforts.
Once again, we thank you for reaching our and helping us in our time of need.
With Gratitude,
GVI Nepal
