Caritas Nepal helps people after devastating earthquakes

Caritas Nepal has been working tirelessly to provide emergency relief across 12 of the most affected districts following the two devastating earthquakes that paralysed Nepal. With the support of the global Catholic network, Caritas Nepal has already supported more than 130,000 people with temporary shelter supplies which include tarpaulins, plastic mats and blankets, kits for clean water and hygiene care, and dry food.

Caritas Nepal and local partner staff and volunteers have shown incredible dedication in reaching the most affected and marginalised families in devastated communities. Even though many of them have suffered their own loss, and many are sleeping outside themselves because their homes have been destroyed, they continue to work around the clock determined to selflessly help and honour the dignity of others.
