Project Nepal

Hi there! I'm Anthony and I work in public service and policy in Chicago. I am soon transitioning out of my current position and heading off to graduate school with a focus in public policy and human rights studies in 2016.

I volunteered for 6 weeks with All Hands Volunteers in Melamchi, Nepal, after a devastating earthquake in April and May of 2015 that caused incredible damage and took countless lives.

I'm fundraising to make a sizeable donation to the community and volunteers back on base, as well as for some significant cost overrun.

Any amount you can donate will be extremely helpful!

Here's more about the work being done in Nepal:

On April 25th, a 7.8 earthquake hit Nepal near the capital city of Kathmandu, the worst of its kind in more than 80 years. More than 9,000 people were killed, a further 23,000 were injured and the mass destruction to infrastructure and homes was vast. Aftershocks continued to shake the country in the weeks that followed causing further fear for those who left homeless and vulnerable by the initial earthquake.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story and for your help!
