Urgent: Nepal Earthquake

On April 25th, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck rural Nepal approximately 77 km west of Kathmandu. More than 3,800 people have been confirmed dead and 6,900 injured. The United Nations estimates that 8 million people have been affected through loss of shelter, water, food, and medical care.  


You can help affected families in Nepal by supporting mental health and psychosocial services that will be delivered in accord with the World Health Organization and Inter-Agency Standing Committee Guidelines in a coordinated nationwide mental health and psychosocial services response. Services will be delivered through Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO) Nepal, a Nepali non-governmental organization with a decade of experience responding to humanitarian emergencies.
Mental health and psychosocial services follow the principles of:

  • Integrating psychosocial support into services for housing, food and water, security, and medical care
  • Providing emergency-related information and facilitating services that reduce distress and improve coping
  • Promoting existing resources to cope with the effects of the earthquake and its aftermath
  • Providing community-wide services to strengthen social and family ties for cooperative earthquake responses and recovery

Please donate today to help earthquake-affected families throughout Nepal. All funds will go to TPO-Nepal for mental health and psychosocial support of earthquake-affected communities.
