The tragic flooding we are seeing in Nepal is, sadly, an almost annual occurrence, that we can help people to prepare for with education. That sort of multi-hazard risk reduction and education is at the heart of the Soarway Mission. Please help us to make a difference that matters.
As a result of the flooding over 135 lives have now been lost. One third of Nepal has been flooded and 6 million people have been affected. Well over 100,000 people are displaced and thousands of homes have been destroyed our severely damaged by flood waters. Huge numbers of Nepalis are at risk of disease, hunger, and death. Hundreds of schools are damaged or closed as are over 500 small and medium scale industries. 80% of farmland was underwater at the height of the flooding with devastating effects on crops in the field. Economic losses will be measured in billions of rupees. Although the waters have begun to recede more rain is possible and landslides are a danger across the country.
This is fast becoming one of the most serious humanitarian crises the region has seen in many years, according to humanitarian agencies, and they have issued a call for urgent action to meet the growing needs of millions of people affected (in South Asia) by these devastating floods.We can help, and we will.
