Covid-19 Emergency Relief Nepal

Numerous Covid-19 emergency relief donations have already enabled Usthi to distribute food in India. In the last few days, food and protective material could also be provided to the first families in Nepal.

Thanks to the great solidarity of Usthi donors, Usthi is also able to provide Covid-19 emergency aid in Nepal. Together with a local organisation, Usthi is in charge of a new educational project in the country. The families of the supported school children and other people in need are currently receiving urgently needed help provided by Usthi’s partner organisation.

After the sharp rise in the number of infections, Nepal imposed a strict lockdown in the region. Even some of the bigger supermarkets had to remain closed. In the Usthi project region of Dhading, many families live within very precarious conditions. Many people in the villages have lost their income due to the strict lockdown. In this emergency situation, Usthi supports the families with food packages and protective material.

The first packages have already been distributed in the last few days. More will be distributed within the upcoming days. Usthi would like to thank all donors for their great solidarity. Without you, Usthi’s work would be unthinkable.
