On 26 August 2026, a devastating flash flood along the Bhote Koshi River displaced and severely affected families in Rasuwa, Nepal. Civic Forum will provide urgent, locally led assistance to up to 200 highly vulnerable households through emergency food and essential household items, safe drinking water, hygiene and dignity kits, temporary shelter support, health and protection referrals, and early livelihood recovery over three months.
The flood has destroyed or damaged homes, household assets, food stocks, water and sanitation facilities, roads, and other essential infrastructure. Many affected families face displacement, unsafe drinking water, poor hygiene conditions, food insecurity, and the loss of essential household items. Women, children, older people, persons with disabilities, and other highly vulnerable households face heightened health, protection, and safety risks during the emergency and early recovery period.
Civic Forum will conduct a rapid needs assessment and coordinate with local authorities and communities to identify the most vulnerable households. We will provide emergency food, safe water and treatment supplies, hygiene and dignity kits, temporary shelter, essential household items, first aid and referral support, and early recovery assistance. Community participation, transparent distribution and monitoring will guide implementation.
The project will help up to 200 affected households meet essential needs, reduce risks from unsafe water and poor sanitation, improve safety and dignity, and begin early recovery. Support will help vulnerable families restore basic livelihoods and build resilience. Lessons from the response will strengthen community preparedness, local coordination, and resilience to future floods and climate-related disasters.
