Help has been active in Nepal since the earthquake in April 2015. After the acute emergency relief measures, we have rebuilt 10 schools. Craftsmen were trained and those affected were trained in the sustainable cultivation of foodstuffs.
Nevertheless, many affected people continue to live in poor conditions and without a roof over their heads. People need help - donate now!

In April 2015, the most severe earthquake in over 80 years hit the Himalayan state. The 7.8 magnitude quake claimed 9,000 lives. 22,000 people were injured. Over 600,000 houses were completely destroyed. Many public institutions such as schools were either damaged or destroyed. At that time, 2.8 million people needed urgent humanitarian aid.
Access to the severely affected areas in the mountain regions was especially difficult. In particular here, some of the communities were almost completely destroyed. The need for help was huge. However, bureaucratic obstacles and border blockades caused the start of aid to be very slow in the first year.
The reconstruction measures are now in progress and some of them have already been finished. In Thulo Sirubari ten schools have been renovated and the children can return to school. When it comes to the reconstruction of private homes, things are very different: people are too poor to finance the construction of their homes. They still live in corrugated iron shelters and continue to be in need of humanitarian aid.

Help concentrates its work on the community of Thulo Sirubari in the Sindhupalchok district. Almost every family in the village of 9,908 inhabitants was affected by the earthquake, with more than 96% of the houses and many public facilities destroyed.
After the distribution of tools, tarpaulins and corrugated metal sheets, as well as the clearing work in the emergency phase, Help started rebuilding the community:
In the following months, Help will provide drinking water supplies to schools and communities. There will be built several sanitary facilities and training courses in hygiene are held.
The consequences of the 2015 earthquake were severe - especially for Nepalese children.
Many schools were almost completely destroyed.
...and the kids couldn't get to class.
The reconstruction required a lot of planning.
Meanwhile the schools in Thulo Sirubari have been repaired...
... and the children can finally go back to school.
The elderly also suffer greatly from the consequences of the catastrophe.
