Help Nepal: Initiative by BPM
Donation protected
On April 25, 2015 Nepal experienced a devastating 7.9 richter scale earthquake. Until now, more than 7,500 people have been confirmed dead, and the number is only increasing. The UN estimates that 8 million people have been affected and 2.8 million people have been displaced from their homes. UN also estimates that
3.5 million people will be in need of food assistance. That is a lot of people trying to fulfill just their basic needs. We may not share the victim’s anguish but we can definitely help to alleviate it
Many places that have been heavily affected are remote, and not easily accessible. Help is coming in, but it hasn't reached out to these places yet. A friend just texted me yesterday asking me to help him. He was in Sindhupalchok, and no one had come forward with help. Today, I was able to contact him again. Help had finally arrived after 5 days. But he lost 4 of his family members.
In Kathmandu,the capital, millions of people, including my parents, have taken refuge in makeshift camps along the streets.
The Nepali government is doing what it can. But it is not enough. The government lacks sufficient manpower, technology, and supplies for a disaster of this magnitude.
An urgent need for basic necessities such as food, water, sanitation and medicine persists at this time.
Battery Place Market started this campaign because Nepal and the Nepali people need our help. And together with you, we can make a big difference.
I, Milan Shrestha, am a member of Nepali Young Professional in New York(NYPNY) and will donate all funds raised to them.
NYPNY is in touch with local groups in Nepal who are already working with victims in the field. 100% of your money will go towards relief of the victims. You can follow them and their progress at http://www.nypny.com
In case, you want to donate to a 501 (c) 3 company, NYPNY has partnered with Grassroot movement in Nepal (GMIN). You may donate to them directlly by selecting GMIN at http://www.nypny.com/#donation
Please help us make a difference where it really matters!
