Earhquake 2015

April 25, 2015. a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, northwest of the capital city, Kathmandu  It was the strongest quake to strike Nepal in more than 80 years. The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest killing 21, making Apri 25 the deadliest day on the mountain in history.

A second 7.3 magnitude quake occurred just 17 days later on May 12, causing further damage and suffering for those who had survived the initial disaster.  The Sherpas in Khumjung suffered greatly.  Many thought when the second earthquake struck they would not survive.  Their village was reduced to a rubble of stones where their homes were.  Hundreds of thousands of people were homeless and entire villages flattened across many districts of Nepal.

The Sherpas, live in an agrarian society, desperately poor and after the earthquake needing to rebuild their homes and communities, the villagers needed help, they needed funds to rebuild their homes. The Sherpas are hard working people and as they could afford to buy and gather supplies they rebuilt their homes, communities, their lives. 

We here at Nepal:  Here to Help came to help.  We raised funds to help the villagers rebuild their homes and communities.
