Why this work

Nepal’s disasters arrive quickly and leave slowly.

The response is usually well covered for a fortnight and then forgotten, which is roughly when the difficult part begins.

What we do

Year by year, 2026 back to 2015

Every disaster response activity in the Project Register, the most recent first. The NPR 25,000 given in 2016 towards rebuilding Kalika Primary School in Gorkha after the earthquake is recorded under Education.

2026

2016

Honouring Rishi Khanal, rescued after 82 hours

On 24 April 2016 (12 Baisakh 2073), a year to the day by the Nepali calendar after the earthquake, New Vision Nepal held a programme to honour Rishi Khanal. He had been trapped in the earthquake, was rescued after 82 hours, and lost his right leg. The programme was held to honour him and to encourage him in the life ahead.
