Between September 26 and 28, 2024, Nepal experienced continuous rainfall that resulted in widespread flooding, inundation, and landslide across various regions. The intense downpour particularly in the Bagmati and Gandaki provinces, led to flash floods and river overflows, severely affecting the lives of many individuals. Additionally, moderate to heavy rainfall impacted other provinces, causing water levels in the Bagmati and Koshi rivers to rise above dangers thresholds.
The flooding and landslides have had a profound impact on communities, displacing families, damaging homes and disrupting access to essential resources. Many individuals are struggling to meet their basic needs, including food, clothing and medical care.
In response to the disaster, Tewa has stepped in to provide critical support to affected communities. To date, Tewa has distributed grant support across province 1,3 and 6, covering six districts and partnering with ten grantee organizations.
The support from Tewa has focused on addressing urgent needs, including foods supplies, warm clothing, hygiene and sanitary kits, medicines, disability-friendly materials, cooking utensils and stoves, water resource conservation and temporary water supply solutions.
Tewa has disbursed a total of NRs. 57,95,000.00 (USD 42,942.00) to support these initiatives, targeting needy women's organizations and groups. The financial assistance has been crucial in enabling these organizations to respond effectively to needs of their communities.
We would like to extend to our gratitude to all donors and supporters who have contributed these relief efforts, demonstrating solidarity and support for those in need.
