Families along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river corridors lost everything in minutes. Three weeks after devastating floods and landslides tore through northern and central Nepal, thousands of people remain missing, and remote mountain communities are completely cut off.
Thanks to your generous support, our first round of grants from the Nepal Flood Relief Fundis already saving lives. Local organizations are on the ground right now delivering critical food, clean water, and emergency shelter to displaced families
The destruction is widespread, and the work is far from over. Here’s a short description of how our partners in Nepal are supporting their communities right now:
The days and weeks ahead will be incredibly difficult. Your support is enabling local organizations to respond in these critical moments—bringing food to families in need, providing shelter to those who have lost their homes, and reaching communities that might otherwise be overlooked.
This work would not be possible without you. Thank you for standing with our local partners as they help communities navigate this devastating crisis, begin to recover, and rebuild for the future.
With gratitude,
Alli + the GlobalGiving Team
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

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.
