5emergency camps for displaced families
On the ground

- A generator in Rasuwa to keep communications running
Where
Rasuwa and the other flood-hit districts
Why we back themRestoring Family Links is the part we keep coming back to. After a flood like this, knowing a parent or a brother is safe matters as much as a blanket, and the Red Cross is one of the few organisations set up to do it.

Where
Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading
Why we back themThey noticed the shelters themselves were becoming a risk, overcrowded and stuffy, and said so publicly. Speaking up for what children actually experience is exactly what we want from a children's charity.

Why we back themPaying emergency cash through Nepal's own social protection system is the unglamorous plumbing that gets money to families fast. Supplies stocked in advance mean the response doesn't wait for the shipping.
