Earthquake Relief

Team Nepal would like to thank the Nepalese army, Nepalese police, Teachers, Students and Youths, Community members, Political parties, reporters and everyone involved in helping our community after such a disaster.

We would also like to thank everyone involved voluntarily in our support program in the different villages, everyone who believed in us and help us financially with donations, and all those who soulfully united with us in our tragic situation.

Team Nepal brought aid to the remote and rural mountain villages which could not be reached by some of the other wonderful organisations who where bringing relief to villages along the main road.

We are now working to reconstruct and rebuild more schools. This is a very important part of the work as once it is completed children will be able to continue their education and build a better life for themselves in the future. At present being in school helps to keep children away from manual labour and being sold by desperate parents, who are led to believe that selling their child means their child will be taken in and cared for, whereas in reality most children are sold into slavery and worse. We aim to keep children safe and to help them continue their education.
