Phase 1: Immediate Response

Our GEM Europe and Asia teams have been on the ground in Nepal for 10 days now after responding to the flash flooding event. As part of our ongoing response, we carried distributions in Belkotgadhi Municipality in Nuwakot District along the Trishuli River.

Families there saw houses destroyed and farmland buried under mud, losing livestock, documents and years of hard-earned belongings in an instant. Travelling in, our teams passed damaged homes, washed-out roads, and places where it was hard to tell what had stood there before.

Working alongside our local partners, including Nepal Peace Scouts, we delivered essential supplies directly to affected residents. The water has receded, but the impact is far from over.

We are building multiple temporary shelters and providing 40 new orphans with full shelter, food, and education for six months.

Our first airlift flights are scheduled to land in Kathmandu next week, with additional flights throughout September, bringing in over a million dollars in aid.

Special thanks to our ground partners Nepal Peace Scouts, and to our incredible donors: the Town of Palm Beach United Way and the United States Department. State Department.
