Flash floods in Nepal: Your donation makes a difference!

Malteser International is initially providing €50,000 in emergency assistance. Together with our local partner organization RSDC, we will support around 900 people in the particularly hard-hit communities of Nuwakot District as an immediate first response. Our emergency relief focuses on improving access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services, as well as providing food assistance. Relief activities will be tailored to the evolving needs on the ground and implemented in close coordination with our partner.

Affected families will receive essential items including jerrycans for the safe storage of drinking water, water purification tablets, soap, dental hygiene products, towels, menstrual hygiene products, and underwear. These supplies will help reduce health risks in the affected communities.

In addition, food packages containing rice, lentils, cooking oil, flour, salt, and sugar will be distributed to families who have lost their food supplies and sources of income due to the flooding.

This response builds on a long-standing partnership in the region. For many years, Malteser International and its local partners have been supporting communities in Nepal to better cope with crises and strengthen their resilience to natural disasters.
