Disaster Management

Rescue, Relief, and Rehabilitate — Standing with communities during their most challenging times

Our Response

From Relief to Rehabilitation

Nepal is vulnerable to a wide spectrum of natural disasters due to its varied topography, ranking it among the 10 most disaster-prone countries in the world. Sewa International Nepal believes in serving humanity by incorporating the ideology of '3Rs: Rescue, Relief and Rehabilitate'.

From the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake to the Jajarkot earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic, our 588+ volunteers have been at the forefront of disaster response, distributing tens of thousands of relief items and establishing isolation centres across Nepal.
