Nepal Flood Relief Campaign 2026

Emergency Relief Appeal

Namaste Dear Friends and Supporters,

On August 26 at approximately 8:37 a.m. local time, a catastrophic flash flood struck communities in Rasuwa and Nuwakot, Nepal. Many precious lives have been lost, many people are still missing, and countless families have suddenly lost their homes, belongings, and means of living.

The situation is heartbreaking and extremely difficult. Families are frightened, vulnerable, and in urgent need of food, shelter, medical care, clean water, and basic necessities.

At DCWC Nepal, we cannot simply stand by and watch people suffer. We are working closely with local communities and preparing to mobilize volunteers, emergency relief supplies, and a medical team to reach the affected areas as quickly as possible. Our priority is to support the most vulnerable families and help those who have lost everything begin to recover.

But we cannot do this alone. We urgently need your help.

Your donation, no matter how large or small, can provide essential relief to a family who may have nothing left. Your support can help provide food to a hungry family, medical care to someone who is injured or sick, warm shelter to someone who has lost their home, and hope to people who are facing one of the darkest moments of their lives.

For Emergency Relief Donations please use our DCWC Bank Detail

Every contribution matters. Every act of kindness can bring hope to a family in need.

We humbly ask you to stand with the people of Rasuwa and Nuwakot at this critical moment. Your generosity will allow our local teams to reach communities that urgently need help.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and continued support.

In times of disaster, people need more than sympathy—they need someone to stand beside them.

Please stand with the people of Nepal.

With heartfelt gratitude and best wishes,

Akka Lama
