Earthquake Relief for Nepal
(Nepalese Students, University of Kentucky)
The powerful earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25th has been followed by hundreds of aftershocksAs of May 28, 2015 the number of deaths has reached 8,676. That toll will rise as rescue teams move more into hard to reach rural places. About 22,000 people had been reported to be injured and several thousands of them remained hospitalized. Along with thousands of homes and hundreds of schools that are damaged, many ancient monuments and temples that were preserved as world heritage sites have been destroyed. Approximately 770000 houses are either destroyed completely (65%) or damaged by the earthquake. Families are devastated and traumatized by relentless earthquake aftershocks. About 860,000 people need immediate assistance due to loss of shelter, access constraints and poverty. 450,000 people have reportedly been displaced from their homes.

Delivering clean and sufficient amount of water and providing easy access to sanitation in the disaster affected areas is extremely challenging. The risk of epidemics of cholera and dysentry in the aftermath of the disaster is high given the challenge and soon to begin the monsoon season. In addition, it is also likely that there will be an increase in infectious disease. The landslides that occurred at different places will also hamper in the movement of aid workers around the country.
We must assure these families that they do not stand alone. For this reason, We Nepalese students at the University of Kentucky, are launching our fundraising initiative, “Nepal, I am with you.” We aim to target a village away from capital Kathmandu and provide direct support at community level. For this, we are seeking to build a direct network and assess where our support can have the best impact. As we progress further, we will provide more information and specific details about place that your support will reach , through this webpage.This initiative is seeking funds to obtain food, medical supplies, and rebuild broken communities. Our time and effort is being volunteered so that every dollar donated will reach Nepal.
Please, help us help our families and friends. Let us assure them by saying from around the world, “Nepal, I am with you.” “Stand with us. Stand with Nepal”.
Where will the money go? 100% of our collected fund will goes to Nepal specially to rural villages of Sindupalchowk and Gorkha Districts of Nepal, through Prime minister Relief Fund, where people are suffering from catastrophic earthquake. We will help them to rebuild and bounce back with their normal life.
A proper public audit will be conducted for the expenditures. We will be constantly updating about where and how your support is being utilized.
Even though this will amount to a small drop in the bucket considering the enormity of the destruction, we know that every little bit counts and we hope that this goes into making the lives of affected Nepalese better and help them better cope with the tragedy that has befallen them.
If you have any questions regarding this, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thank you
