Like many, we've been extremely moved by the recent earthquake that has caused devastation in Nepal.
After making a donation to UNICEF we hope to reach out to YOU to appeal for your help too
More than 80% of health facilities in the five most severely affected districts have been severely damaged, so patients are being treated outside.
Tents, hygiene kits, water purification tablets and buckets have been
dispatched to Gorkha for distribution, the area at the epicentre of the
earthquake, where the presence of dead bodies poses the risk of disease
outbreak. Vital supplies have also been dispatched to Kavre and
Dhading.
Unicef is delivering water purification tablets, buckets and hygiene kits in Bhaktapur where only 1 in 5 people are estimated to have access to clean water. Water tankers are distributing clean water to 16 informal camps that have sprung up in the Kathmandu valley.
Teams are identifying and assisting children who have been separated
from their families, and our Unicef colleagues are working with partners
to provide psychological support for children living in informal camps
who’ve experienced extreme shock.
Over 84% of schools
assessed in 16 affected districts are either partially or fully damaged
– highlighting the need for temporary learning spaces to protect
children and allow them to establish a routine.
Here's some tools for assisting with fundraising in your office:
- Bucket wrap
- Collection tin wrap
- Sponsorship form
- Donations form (use this to send in the money you collect)
You could make a fruit stall with your regular office fruit delivery! Sell each piece at a price and donate all proceeds to Nepal.
They really need our help!
