KIMA Network is raising funds to support school-age children from Syabru Besi, Setang, Timure, and surrounding communities affected by the flooding.

Because search and rescue efforts are still ongoing, we do not want to make assumptions about any child's family situation. We continue to hope that missing parents and loved ones will be found and reunited with their families.

Our action plan: We collected data from 5 boarding schools in Kathmandu and identified 41 students who are orphaned or have lost a parent, and who have no sponsor or only partial sponsorship. We have decided to sponsor all 41 students for this year and the upcoming so they can stay safe, supported, and in school. The schools are:

• Namgyal Higher Secondary School

• Srongtsen Bhrikuti Boarding High School

• Namgyal Middle Boarding School

• Marshyangdi Boarding High School

• North Valley English Secondary Boarding School

We still have a waiting list of children who need a sponsor. Please reach out to us or support through GoFundMe to help the children of Rasuwa.

We want to be there for them not only in the immediate aftermath, but in the months and years that follow.

For any child who is ultimately left without parental care, surviving the disaster will only be the beginning. They will need stability. They will need an education. They will need a safe place to live. And, most of all, they will need the reassurance that they have not been forgotten.

Funds raised will help provide:

• Safe housing, food, clothing, and everyday necessities

• School tuition, uniforms, books, and educational expenses

• Ongoing living and caregiving support

• Longer-term assistance for children left without parents or stable caregivers

Our commitment is not only to help these children through the immediate crisis, but to give them the stability, education, and support they need to move forward.

You do not have to be from Nepal to make a difference. Whether you are able to donate any amount ($) or simply share this fundraiser, every act of support can help us reach a child who may need care for years to come.

Please keep the families of Rasuwa in your thoughts, and if you are able, please stand with the children whose lives may be changed forever by this disaster.
