Nepal Relief
When disaster strikes, we deploy Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs) comprised of experienced professionals trained in meeting the needs of disaster victims.
About the Campaign
On August 26, landslides caused devastating flash floods in Nepal and along the Nepal-Tibet border, following what scientists believe to be the collapse of a glacier.
Samaritan’s Purse has sent a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) to Nepal to work with trusted Christian partners on the ground, whom we also worked with after the devastating 2015 earthquake. An airlift of emergency supplies is in the works, which will bring tarps, blankets, solar lights, hygiene kits, and more. Beyond tangible relief items, our response will also focus on emergency feeding, which is already underway.
Ideas to get you started
Birthday fundraiser
Have birthday guests ask for donations rather than gifts. Encourage others to also set up a fundraising page where every dollar raised goes directly to humanitarian aid, where it’s needed most.
Fitness challenge
You can either plan this fundraiser as a virtual challenge for people to complete on their own time or gather everyone to participate in the challenge together.
Game night
Game nights are a popular way to support your cause. By creating a fundraiser today, you’ll help families receive relief faster and begin rebuilding their lives sooner.
