Our CEO, Jane Edge, was interviewed on ABC Weekend Breakfast on Sunday about the devastating impact of the Nepal floods on people with disabilities and how CBM and our local partners are responding.

Together, we are helping people access assistive devices such as walking sticks and crutches, as well as mental health support and other essential services.

Despite the immense challenges facing communities, there is reason for hope. Jane shared how early support can help lay the foundations for recovery, giving families a pathway from despair towards resilience and hope.

“…when you have people who have survived something like this, to have that first initial package of support means so much. The despair can be turned into at least the beginnings of a plan and an approach to resilience and hope”

As we celebrate Father's Day and give thanks for the fathers and father figures in our lives, we recognise the love, guidance and care they show their families and communities.

Today, our hearts are also with the people of Nepal, where devastating flash floods have brought immense loss and suffering. The scale of the devastation is difficult to comprehend and can leave us feeling helpless.

As people of faith, we are invited to call God our Father. In His deep compassion, we trust He is with the people of Nepal today.

We invite you to take a moment to pray for our brothers and sisters in Nepal. May they experience the comfort, strength and provision of our heavenly Father in the midst of this crisis, knowing He is close to the broken-hearted and compassionate towards those who are suffering. 🙏

Today on International Day of Charity, we're remembering Ernst Christoffel, whose faith and compassion inspired the work that became CBM more than a century ago.

His legacy continues through people like you.

Thank you for choosing to care, give and stand alongside people with disabilities. Your generosity is helping build a more inclusive world where no one is left behind. 💙

The devastating floods in Nepal have destroyed homes, roads and bridges, leaving families grieving and entire communities isolated.

People with disabilities are at particular risk and urgently need accessible support.

Your urgent donation will help provide people with disabilities in affected areas of Nepal with the emergency relief and support they desperately need.

Bhawana was washing clothes on the riverbank when a torrent of mud and water tore through without warning. Because she lives with both hearing and vision impairments, she couldn’t hear the emergency alarms or easily spot the path to safety.

By the absolute grace of God, her husband and neighbours screamed loud enough to catch her attention.

Terrified, she ran for her life, thinking only of her two daughters.

She told a CBM worker on ground:

“If they hadn’t called me, I would have died on the riverbank. I thank God that I am alive.”

This devastating reality is one of many for those affected by the Nepal floods.

Our hearts ache for the people of Nepal. 🧡

We’ve just received these images from Nuwakot, about 60 kilometres north of Kathmandu, in one of the districts devastated by the flood. As you can see, roads, bridges and powerlines have been washed away, leaving many people traumatised and isolated.

We’ve been told that people are completely overwhelmed by the current situation and are experiencing severe distress and trauma.

We know that many people with disabilities urgently need access to emergency food, clean water, assistive devices and vital community-based support.

We must and will stand with them now.

Lord, we bring before you the people of Nepal, and all who have lost so much so suddenly. As we see the devastation caused by floodwaters across communities in Nepal, we look to you.

Steady our hearts, Lord, and be close to those who are grieving, waiting for news, or unsure what comes next.

We especially hold before you people with disabilities, older people, children and others who may find it harder to reach safety, support and care. We pray that the work already done to prepare for disasters has helped protect those most at risk.

Comfort those who are grieving, protect those still in danger, and guide those responding with wisdom and care. Amen. 🙏🏼

Please keep the people of Nepal in your prayers. If you are able to give, your urgent donation will help provide the emergency relief and support people desperately need: https://my.cbm.org.au/emergency/donate ❤️

🚨 People with disabilities in Nepal need your help now.

Devastating floods have destroyed homes, roads and communities, leaving many people without access to food, clean water and life-saving support.

In every emergency, people with disabilities are among those most at risk. They can find it harder to reach safety, access emergency aid, and receive the assistance they urgently need.

CBM's teams and partners are already on the ground, ready to help. They know who to help and how to help them. But we need your support to reach everyone who needs us.

Please give urgently to help get life-saving essentials to people with disabilities affected by this devastating flood.

Devastating flash flooding has struck communities in north-central Nepal, causing significant damage with over 150 people are confirmed to have died, with many more missing. Rescue efforts are continuing as families await news of loved ones.

We hold all those affected in our prayers and stand in solidarity with communities facing loss and uncertainty.

We are in close contact with our team in Nepal and local partners. Based on the latest update, our team members and partners are safe.

We are continuing to monitor the situation closely as Government authorities and other agencies assess the damage and impact of the flood.

In times of disaster, people with disabilities are four times more likely to die facing barriers to safety, support and recovery. Please join us in praying for those affected, especially people with disabilities, those responding, and those waiting for news of loved ones.

Please pray for:
🙏 Families grieving the loss of loved ones, homes and livelihoods.
🙏 First responders, local organisations and community leaders supporting those affected.
🙏 People with disabilities, that they will be included and receive the support they need.
🙏 Strength, comfort and hope for communities facing the difficult days ahead.
