Nepal Flooding Update – 09/02/26
Gobinda and a team of helpers will be travelling to hard hit areas, arriving Thursday morning (Nepal time) / Wednesday evening (US time). Please pray for safe travels and a hold on the rain. There was a pause in the rain earlier, so if it holds they can travel! Communication is difficult, but we will keep you informed as we hear. They are taking enough aid to help about twenty families on this initial trip and on their return we will have more news and pictures to share.
Thank you again for your help, prayers, and support! Please spread the word to others who may want to help. We will have more information soon.
We are providing an option for a $45 Food Package Donation (food for a family for 1 month) and a $60 Tent Package Donation (quality protection from rain, heat, and elements for a family). We urgently need $1700 by Thursday, but we hoping (and praying) for $15,000 so we can feed 200 families for a month and shelter 100 families until they can get their footing to rebuild their lives.
Nepal Flooding Update – 09/01/26
Thank you to all of you who have supported this relief effort – we’re more than halfway there!
We still need $2k to provide the first wave of relief packs for 100 families in hard to reach areas.
Gobinda has traveled as far as he can by vehicle from Kathmandu. Heavy rains have eroded roads and make travelling difficult, even by foot. Gobinda is in contact with leaders in the devastated areas and is evaluating the situation to provide the most needed and effective relief, arranging the aid with local suppliers, and planning for safe and fastest transport.
Due to road conditions and rains, the biggest challenge is transporting the aid to the flooded areas. This will require all supplies to be carried 4 hours by foot. Gobinda is arranging volunteers to aid with the transport now.
Please continue to pray for creative solutions and protection on washed out roads . If you want to help, see below . We are committed to providing this urgent assistance before the entire amount is raised. Time is of the essence and Thursday, 9/3, (Wednesday night US time) is still our goal to distribute the initial wave of emergency aid packs .
Nepal Flooding Update – 08/31/26
Summary:
• Targeting Thursday 9/3 for initial food relief drive for 100 families
• Need to raise minimum of $2500 by 9/2 to boost the local Nepali donations
• Operation-Impact has a goal of $15,000 to feed 200 families and provide shelter tents to 100 families
Almost one week after the Aug 26 flash flood, the current Nepali government report on the losses are now counting 955 dead, over 4,471 missing, and rising. There is a severe rising health crisis with food and clean water in short supply; aid workers are unable to able deal quickly enough with the bodies of those who have perished and decomposition contamination is a mounting issue . The floods have washed away bridges and the rainy season has eroded many of the mountain roads connecting the eastern half of Nepal to the western side, hampering relief efforts and supplies.
Our contacts in Nepal, Gobinda and Sushila, are in touch with locals in the affected flood areas and are planning the initial relief drive to address the most crucial needs in the area. The first team is trying to arrange transport to arrive Thursday, 9/3/26, with supplies to feed at least 100 families with the essentials for 1 month. The cost for this initial food drive is $4500. Local Nepali churches and individuals have already given over $1100 to help their own. Operation-Impact is hoping to boost their funds to cover the rest of this project. We have already raised over $600 to help meet the initial goal, but we need at least $2500 by Wednesday, 9/2/26 to be able to make this happen by Thursday.
On top of the devastation of the flood, this is the rainy season and people have no shelter from the daily torrential rains. Gobinda is also asking for our help in providing tents for displaced families.
