Earthquake Relief (pre Covid-19)

In 2015, two major earthquakes struck Nepal within weeks of each other. The earthquakes toppled multistory buildings in the capital Kathmandu, and triggered landslides and avalanches in the Himalaya mountains. The first earthquake on April 25, 2015 was the deadliest earthquake in that region in 81 years. The second earthquake on May 12, 2015 caused mass panic among the many people who had already been forced to live in the open after the April 25, 2015 earthquake. In the aftermath of the earthquakes, the Nepal Army and Armed Police Force mounted rescue and relief efforts in the stricken areas. They were supported by army personnel from different countries and local volunteers.

Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra contributed to the emergency relief by packing and donating ration kits to distribute to the survivors. The ration kits contained essential food supplies such as daal (lentils), rice, rusks, bottled water, milk powder, sugar, biscuits, potato crisps, instant noodles, and salt, along with match sticks, soap, tooth paste, shampoo, and cloth. Our volunteers helped the locals to rebuild their homes after the earthquakes.
