South Asia Flood Relief: What's Happening and How to Help
More than 1,000 people have perished and more than 25 million have been affected as a result of the extreme rain and flooding during the 2019 monsoon season. Prolonged flooding and landslides are impacting various regions within India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar. Each of the projects below will support both initial relief efforts and long-term recovery initiatives led by our vetted nonprofit partners in the affected regions.
Donations to GlobalGiving’s South Asia Flood Relief Fund will be divided among our vetted nonprofit partners to where the need is greatest. This list of responding organizations and their recovery projects will continue to grow as our partners in the affected areas have the capacity to post projects and updates.
We believe organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are often in the best position to provide long-term support for disaster victims. By funding the relief efforts of locally driven organizations, donations to GlobalGiving’s South Asia Flood Relief Fund have the potential to build stronger disaster-response capacity so that our nonprofit partners in the affected areas are better equipped to face future disasters.
