Story
Welcome to the All Hands Nepal fundraising page!
On April 25th, 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal near the capital city of Kathmandu, the most devastating quake in 80 years. More than 9,000 people were killed, 23,000 were injured, and the mass destruction to infrastructure, homes, and schools was vast. Two weeks later, a second earthquake struck, furthering the loss and devastation of a country and people already traumatized.
After almost 18 months in Nepal, All Hands Volunteers has impacted over 20,000 people throughout our response and recovery efforts. A total of 1,769 volunteers from 72 countries have donated 192,980 volunteer hours toward putting families back in homes and kids back in schools in Kathmandu, Sindhupalchowk, and Nuwakot. In addition to this core focus, we have been involved in numerous community projects such as masonry training, school reading projects, water catchment systems, and more. After more than a year, the Nepali people are still in dire need. As a result, All Hands Volunteers has focused our efforts on one goal- getting the children of Nepal back to school.
