We’ve reached Rasuwa — twice.

Our first visit was an immediate response to the needs of flood-affected communities. We arrived with non-perishable food items, mattresses, power banks, a generator and fuel, and solar lights. We also met with the Ward Chairpersons of Wards 4 and 5 of Uttargaya Rural Municipality, visited the holding centre, and, most importantly, spent time with the families affected by the floods who are currently staying there.

Listening to the families and understanding the situation at the holding centre helped us identify what support was still needed. The requests raised by affected families and the holding centre, along with discussions with local representatives and guidance from the Government, shaped our second response.

We returned to Rasuwa with additional tarpaulins, clothes for families staying at the holding centre, non-perishable food, ECD materials for children, kitchen utensils for the centre, and hygiene kits.

A deep thank you to Srijanalaya and Nirvana Psychosocial Care Center and Research Institute for supporting us during this second visit.

Rebuilding takes presence, partnership, and persistence. We remain committed to standing alongside the people of Rasuwa as they move forward. 🤝

🚨 URGENT APPEAL: Support Flash Flood Victims - Children in Need 🚨
The recent flash floods have devastated communities across the region- homes, schools, and belongings washed away in an instant.

ISARD is collecting the following items:
🧸 ECD (Early Childhood Development) support - toys & learning kits
📚 School books, and books for library
👗 Track suits
🎒 School bags
✏️ Stationery

We are heading to Uttargaya Municipality via the Jhor–Chhahare road. According to the rural municipality chairman, there is an urgent need for generators because the area has no electricity and currently relies on car batteries to charge their phones to communicate with the families. For this first visit, we have loaded petrol generators, mattresses, tarpaulins , food supplies, power banks, solar lights, water purifier and sanitation kits. Once we assess the ground reality, we will return at the end of next week with a better-informed plan.

Nuwakot and Rasuwa are reeling from the flash floods that hit on 26 August, 2026. Villages along the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli have been buried under mud and debris, roads and hydropower stations are damaged, and many families are still unaccounted for.

Our hearts are with the communities of Nuwakot and Rasuwa. In this time of profound loss, ISARD stands in solidarity — committed to supporting the affected communities in coordination with the government, guided by the directives of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the respective District Coordination Committees.
