Story
The people of Nepal are in urgent need of our help.
Following the country's deadliest earthquake in more than 80 years, the death toll in Nepal has now passed 8,000, and officials estimate it could exceed 10,000. 140,000 have been injured.
8 million people - more than a quarter of the population - have been affected. The government is overwhelmed and two weeks on from the earthquake thousands of people are still waiting for help to arrive.
The Mountain Trust - which has pioneered health, education and human rights projects in Nepal for the past 15 years - has launched an Emergency Relief Fund to help those worst hit by this tragedy.
We are currently on the ground buying and distributing aid: tents, water, food, blankets, clothes & medicines in the Gorkha region - near the epicenter. Our Team in Nepal are doing a outstanding job and working tirelessly to help those who have been left with nothing. We have funded temporary shelter, non food items and food for a month per family We have begun to distribute the basic building materials (cement, steel reinforcement, corrugated iron sheeting etc. to enable 100 families to rebuild.
The Mountain Trust fund raises for worthy projects in Nepal 365 days a year, but now WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THOSE AFFECTED BY ONE OF THE WORST NATURAL DISASTERS IN LIVING MEMORY.
