How to Support Nepal Earthquake Relief and Recovery Efforts

  • GlobalGiving - Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund: Donations will fund first responders and provide immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products and shelter. Once initial relief work is complete, this fund will transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run by local organizations.

  • Waves for Water - Nepal Relief Initiative: Organizing a strategic response initiative to provide victims with access to safe water. The first phase involves distributing portable water filtration units to community centers and families.
