From Immediate Relief to Recovery: Continuing Our Support for Flood-Affected Families in Rasuwa, Nepal
Following the devastating Bhote Koshi River flood, OneLoveOneWorld (OLOW) initiated an emergency response in coordination with local authorities, community representatives, and partners to support children and families affected by the disaster.
Our First Step: Supporting Children
In the first phase of our response, OLOW reached 200 disaster-affected children with essential educational and recreational materials. This support was aimed not only at helping children continue their education, but also at restoring a sense of normalcy, comfort, and hope during a difficult and uncertain time. Along with it 200 families received hygiene kit which are required for the daily life
Our Second Step: Supporting Families
The flash flood has affected families in and around Ama Chhyo Dingmo, Gosaikunda, Uttargaya, and Kalikasthan of Rasuwa, as well as other identified flood-affected locations, including Bidur and Betrawoti of Nuwakot. The disaster has resulted in displacement, loss, disruption of normal household life, and increased vulnerability among affected families. According to available field information, 204 people have been reported missing and 168 households have been affected. Furthermore, according to information shared during the press meeting by the Chief District Officer (CDO) of Rasuwa, approximately 2,020 affected people are currently staying in different holding centres.
As the immediate emergency phase continues to transition towards recovery, OLOW plans to provide support based on the needs and circumstances of affected families, including:
• Winter clothing for affected families
• Specialized support for pregnant women and women who have recently given birth
• Educational materials and support for children whose education has been disrupted
• Vocational training and skills development to help survivors rebuild their livelihoods
• Livelihood and self-sustainability support to help families regain independent sources of income
• Need-based assistance according to the individual circumstances and priorities of affected families
Grateful for Support
We are deeply grateful to ARNIKO for providing 209 pairs of clothing such as Shirts, Pants, Jackets, Sweaters, Hoodies and may more, which will help us respond to the winter and essential needs of flood-affected families.
Our response is now moving from immediate relief towards recovery, dignity, resilience, and self-reliance. We remain committed to standing alongside affected communities as they rebuild their lives, restore their livelihoods, and work towards a more secure future.
We sincerely call upon our donors, partners, local authorities, community representatives, and well-wishers to continue standing with affected families during this challenging period. Your support can help transform emergency assistance into meaningful opportunities for recovery and a dignified future.
