🇳🇵 Nepal Flood Relief – The next stage of support

Wilderness in Nepal is pleased to share an update on the next stage of our flood relief efforts in Nepal.

On Friday, 18 September, our in-country partner Kushudebu Public Health Mission Nepal (KPHMN) carried out a relief distribution programme for flood-affected families in Bidur Municipality Ward No. 2, Nuwakot.

With your contributions and from other organistaions, 300 relief kit bags and other essential supplies were distributed to families affected by the floods. Medical gloves, masks and reusable gloves were also provided to the District Health Office for ongoing use.

Working in a new affected area required close coordination with the Ward Chairperson and local representatives, whose knowledge was vital in identifying families most in need and ensuring the relief reached the right people.

This next stage of support is a reminder of the importance of strong local partnerships. Through KPHMN’s on-the-ground knowledge and the generosity of our supporters, WIN is able to help provide practical assistance where it is needed most.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed to the Flood Appeal, and to KPHMN, local government representatives, volunteers and community members who continue to give their time and energy to support flood-affected families.

The photos and videos shared with us from Nuwakot show both the impact of the floods and the difference this support is making.

🇳🇵 Standing with Nepal following the devastating floods

The recent floods in Nepal have left many families and communities facing unimaginable loss.

Through our long-standing partnership with Kushudebu Public Health Mission Nepal (KPHMN), WIN Ltd is helping provide immediate, practical support to those who have been left with very little.

Ang Shering Sherpa has shared these photos of the WIN and Wilderness School Flood Appeal Kit Distribution, where essential kits have been provided to 500 people staying in evacuation centres in Kathmandu.

Each kit contains age-appropriate clothing and personal items for people who have been left with nothing. At just $20 per kit, every donation can make a very real and immediate difference.

KPHMN is also currently exploring how best to provide appropriate and meaningful ongoing support to the 64 children who have lost a parent or parents. We will share more about this work as plans are developed.

We are enormously grateful to everyone who has already donated, shared our appeal or supported this response.

WIN Ltd thoughts are with all those affected by the devastating Nepal floods. As an organisation we will be providing funds to reach those directly affected, including but not limited to those who have had to be transferred to Kathmandu for medical treatment, those displaced by the floods and the many Sherpa families from the Junbesi region who have lost loved ones who were in the region working. Our in-country representative is working on the ground with local contacts and hospitals to ensure funds are directed where needed.

A legacy that will help generations of mothers and babies.

The Emeritus Professor Colin Matthews AO Birthing and Health Clinic in Junbesi is close to completion, made possible by the extraordinary generosity of the Matthews family.

When Colin was surprised with the news that the clinic would bear his name on his 91st birthday, he reflected on a memory from almost 45 years ago while hiking in Nepal. He recalled seeing a woman in labour being carried on a stretcher by villagers to reach the nearest medical help.

That moment stayed with him.

After a lifetime dedicated to advancing obstetrics and reproductive health, it feels especially meaningful that he can now play a small part in helping women and babies access safer maternity care in Nepal.

The joy of receiving this certificate of appreciation from the Junbesi community is a reminder that acts of generosity can create a legacy that reaches far beyond ourselves.

Thank you, Colin, for helping make this vision a reality.

We are saddened to have to report the passing of Joanna Churchill. A remarkable woman who with her experience as a corporate lawyer was instrumental in setting up Wilderness In Nepal Ltd. Jo was part of the inaugural board of directors until 2024. Jo joined the October 2018 WIN medical clinic and shared that she felt honoured and privileged to provide much needed medical and dental care to the beautiful people of Junbesi and surrounds.
Jo felt like she left a little bit of her heart behind in Nepal.

Our deepest sympathies are with Simon, Isabella, Sam and family.

Ambulance on its way to Bhaduare Community 🎉

Following our very successful 10 year fundraising event we wanted to share the fantastic news that we raised over $30,000 on the night plus several very generous donations afterwards.

This has enabled the purchase and equipping of an ambulance for the Bhaduare region. The improvement in health outcomes for the local community will be enormous.
