uniper Trust has over 30 years’ experience of voluntary work in Nepal. We are a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers, with no administrative overheads, which means 100% of donations to this appeal can be channelled directly into helping the people who need it most.
Following the devastating 2015 earthquake, we rebuilt 20 schools, many of which we still support today. Over those years we have built up a trusted network of people, organisations and suppliers in Nepal, allowing us to respond quickly and make sure the money is spent where it is genuinely needed.
We are coordinating with Rotary Clubs, volunteer groups and other organisations supporting flood-affected communities in Rasuwa, Nuwakot and surrounding areas. Messages are also coming directly from villagers telling us what they need most.
Working with Rotary, we now have a fast system in place to buy supplies in Kathmandu and transport them by truck and 4WD as close to the affected villages as possible, with trusted people on the ground helping ensure they reach the families who need them most.
This means your donations can be turned into essential supplies and reach affected villages within days.
We will continue to post updates so you can see where the money is going and the difference your donations are making.
UPDATE – 1 SEPTEMBER
Our team has been busy again today in Kathmandu. Over the last two days, we have spent around NPR 800,000 (approximately £4,000) on urgently needed supplies, all now being packed and prepared for distribution.
Today’s purchases include 300 toothbrushes and toothpaste, 200+ sanitary pads, 150 body powders, 360 soaps, 100 blankets, 30 power banks with torches, more than 450 sets of men’s and women’s underwear, 120 packs of nappies, 200 plates, glasses and spoons, cooking utensils and 250 metres of matting.
Some encouraging news came through today. Several of the stranded communities can now be reached by a very difficult 4×4 route. Our immediate aim is to reach Uttargaya Gaupalika, where around 500 people are currently relying on charitable assistance.
Working closely with Rotary Kathmandu means we can share transportation, which they are providing, while they are also matching our effort with supplies of their own. It’s a real partnership, allowing us to get more help to the people who need it.
The situation remains desperate. Army helicopters are focused on relief work and the recovery of bodies, while health risks are increasing. There are still people with nowhere to go and children who do not know where their parents are.
Having experienced the aftermath of the 2015 earthquake, the concentration of devastation in such a small area feels overwhelming. Almost everyone we speak to knows someone who has lost a friend or relative, and we fear the true scale of this disaster is still unfolding.
