Rebuilding homes in Nepal

Flash floods left families in Nepal without homes. Together with a local team on the ground, we are helping them rebuild.

The need

More than walls and a roof

A home is where a family sleeps, eats, grieves, celebrates, and recovers. When the floods took these homes, they took the place where life is held together.

Families who lost their houses are living in makeshift or borrowed shelter, exposed to weather and uncertainty. Before anything else can heal, they need a safe place to live.

What we are working toward

A family, home again

Walls that keep out the rain. A door that closes. A place where children can sleep without fear.

This is what a rebuilt home means. It is simple, and it changes everything.

How it works

Led by people who know the land

A local team leads

Our partners in Nepal know these communities, their needs, and their land. They identify the families and oversee the rebuilding.

We resource their work

The Foundation raises funds and support so that the local team can do what they already know how to do.

Funds go to rebuilding

Contributions through the GoFundMe campaign support the housing effort for families who lost their homes.

We report honestly

As the work progresses, we will share what has been done and what is still needed, with the consent of the families involved.
