Catastrophic flash floods have swept through Nepal and communities along the Bhote Koshi river system, taking lives, destroying homes and critical infrastructure, and leaving hundreds of people unaccounted for. Floodwaters and debris have devastated remote communities across the Himalayan region as search-and-rescue efforts continue. Your donation to the Nepal Flood Relief Fund will provide urgent relief and long-term recovery support to communities impacted by this devastating disaster.
A massive flash flood surged through the Bhote Koshi river system on August 26, devastating communities in Nepal's Rasuwa district and downstream areas. Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds remain unaccounted for. Homes, roads, bridges, power systems, and hydropower facilities have been damaged or destroyed, while severe weather and difficult terrain are complicating rescue efforts.
Your donation to GlobalGiving's Nepal Flood Relief Fund will provide local organizations with flexible funding to meet urgent needs, including search and rescue, emergency medical care, shelter, food, clean water, and other essential supplies. As needs evolve, the fund will also support longer-term recovery and rebuilding, especially for marginalized, remote, and hard-to-reach communities affected by the floods.

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
