Flash floods and mudslides have swept through communities in central Nepal, causing widespread devastation.

Homes, roads and vital infrastructure have been destroyed, and the death toll continues to climb. Families have watched their homes and possessions wash away with many also desperately searching for loved ones.

Cut off and facing this widespread damage, these communities need humanitarian assistance quickly. Watch Ian McInnes (CEO) explain how you can help provide emergency support in this time of crisis.

Our response

Our partner, Share and Care, have already been serving in those regions affected for the last fifteen years. Their existing relationships, and deep understanding of the communities, mean that they are now well placed to provide immediate assistance and long-term recovery.

They're providing the following to families impacted by the floods:

 Immediate relief through food, essential non-food items, hygiene supplies, tents, and tarpaulins

 Psychosocial and well-being support to children and family members

 Support to restore livelihoods, strengthen household economic resilience, and improve access to local markets

 

 

 

 

Send a message of encouragement to Nepal

Your words will uplift the Share and Care team as they serve families affected by the floods.


 

What’s happening in Nepal?

 A major flash flood struck the Bhote Koshi River Basin in the Nepal–Tibet border region at about 9am on 26 August 2026. 

 The flooding has significantly damaged homes, markets, transport infrastructure and hydropower projects. 

 Some indications suggest that this event could be the worst flooding disaster in the country since the 1990s. Humanitarian needs are significant. 

 The worst-affected areas include Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and surrounding districts along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river systems. 

 The death toll continues to climb and hundreds of people from around the world have been reported missing.
