On April 25, 2015, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck our beloved country Nepal and was followed by a series of large aftershocks, including a further 7.3-magnitude earthquake on May 12. The disaster, which affected over 8 million people, led to more than 9,000 deaths, and temporarily displaced 2.8 million people, prompted a significant response from the international community. Nepalese living in Nepal and all around the world worked together as a team to serve our brothers and sisters in Nepal during this time of need.

We managed to send 115 boxes of emergency relief supplies from India, including medicines and medical consumables (in 2 separate batches). This wouldn’t have been possible without your extremely generous donations and incredible support.

God Bless You All!
