Our first Nepal flood recovery update ➡️: Our team made it to Nepal! With the goal of feeding and delivering supplies to flood victims, we took the first couple days to reconnect with Kairos Nepal, the org we would be working with. We gathered supplies and coordinated with locals within the Rasuwa affected area on which route was best and where we would set up camp.

After a long and difficult journey, 13 hours of rocky mountainous terrain, we arrived to Dhunche Bazaar where we would call our home base. Dhunche is a gateway to world renowned treks; Langtang and Gosainkunda, but is now being given new meaning as a beacon point for resources being brought from organizations sent from all over the world. Due to its high elevation over the valley, Dhunche looks over the Trisuli river, the very river that devastated over 8 towns in its path in the matter of minutes. Upon first seeing the effects of the flood was silencing in its own way to our team; seeing the peaks of which the debris wall carved out of the valley was surreal.

Our work began Monday night by unloading our two trucks worth of food and provisions late and organizing for the days to follow. The next morning we prepared for feeding the small village we were attending to, all of whom were victims who had either come up from the flooded areas, or who had lost family members due to flooding. Due to the lack of supply chain, the rice and simple ingredients of what we had brought (like fresh tomatoes and spinach) were greatly accepted. We made breakfast and dinner and listened to these people’s stories, making note of their needs to follow in the coming weeks/ months. We played games with the kids and wrapped up the night with our team’s first meal of dal bhat.

Our team is grateful for the ways in which we’ve been able to serve already, and also weighed down by the sorrow experienced by a people who are so closely tied to one another through family and tradition. Our fundraiser has been gaining momentum! We will be following up with further ways our funding is helping flood victims. Thank you for supporting the people of Nepal as they recover!

Help victims of the Nepal flooding 🇳🇵- Gofundme link:

Hi all, Harrison and Lexi here! We are inviting our friends, family, and community to take a closer look at what’s going on in Nepal right now. Due to an unprecedented glacier land slide, flooding from the Nepal-Tibet boarder swept down and caused destruction in ways we could never have believed.

In 2017, I moved to Kathmandu, Nepal to work with a business planting, anti-human trafficking group, where I worked for the following 5 years. During this period of time, both Lexi and I, worked alongside locals passionate about socioeconomic change. This work often brought us into many of the areas affected by the recent August 26th flooding.

While over 13,000 Nepalis were rescued, over 1,200 lost their lives, and reports (as of Sept. 4th) of 5,000 still missing. Over 7,250 home were destroyed during the floods, causing many unhoused people to move out from the valley and up into neighboring mountain villages. These villages need relief aid in the form of freshly cooked meals, hygiene products, water purification, and funding/ resources for victims to rebuild.

Due to our connection to these people, understanding of the culture and language, and resources available to us when reaching Nepal, we’ve decided to take a small team out there to provide relief aid. We will be joining in with Kairos Nepal, a local nonprofit organization, to help their efforts and bring awareness to flood victims’ real time needs.

Our goal is to raise $45,000 broken into these segments:

$15,000 = feeding 600 displaced Nepalis for 2 months

$16,000 = rebuilding of 4 Nepalese family homes

$12,000 = supplies, water purification, and other resources needed for relief teams

If our goal is reached, every $142 over the fundraiser amount will be given to feed a new family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! That alone means so much to this cause. We ask that you would help spread awareness of what’s going on in Nepal, and consider giving towards this fundraiser, or Nepal Red Cross or World Central Kitchen.
