Aug. 2017 Nepal: Landslides and intense flooding triggered by heavy rain have claimed the lives of more than 150 people in southern region of Nepal. According to various news sources, over 44,683 familes have been displaced.
Relief workers said 26 of the country's 75 districts were either submerged or had been hit by landslides after heavy rains lashed the Himalayan nation.
The death toll was expected to rise with another 50 people reported missing, Information and Communications Minister Mohan Bahadur Basnet said.
Mr Basnet said more than 60,000 homes were under water, mainly in the southern plains bordering India.
Nepal is still recovering from a devastating earthquake that hit hard in 2015, and now faced with another devastation.
Society of Nepalese in Hawaii (SNEHA) has initiated an urgent fund raising campaign at go fund me website. We need your help. 100% of the donations will be handed over to SNEHA ( Society of Nepalse in Hawaii) which is a public, non profit organization ( 501(C) (3) located in Honolulu, HI www.esneha.org . No funds are used for admin fees etc. 100% funds will be disseminated to vicitms directly affected by flood in Nepal.
Funds will be used to provide medicines, first aid and relief materials such as; food, blanket, clothes to reach affected areas.
Target is to reach out as many families affected by flood. Our Goal is to raise money by the end of August so that relief support can be provied to victims ASAP. Think - we can skip one Starbucks drink or one TGIF party or one restaurant dinner and donate - as a result, you have directly helped and provided relief to at least one flood victim family by that amount- that is PRICELESS. PLEASE SUPPORT THE CAUSE. No amount is too less, every dollar helps. DONATE NOW.
