Emergency flood relief appeal
A devastating flood near the Nepal–Tibet border has destroyed homes, roads and bridges in Rasuwa and downstream along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers. Families have lost everything. We are raising funds for immediate relief.

What has happened
Every person missing or lost belongs to a family that is waiting, searching, and hoping.
A devastating flood near the Nepal–Tibet border has caused severe destruction in Rasuwa and in communities downstream along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers. Roads and bridges have been washed away, homes have been destroyed, infrastructure has been badly damaged, and many families have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods.
As rescue efforts continue, at least 95 people have been reported dead and hundreds more remain missing or out of contact. The situation is still developing, and the true extent of the damage may not be known for some time.
Your gift is converted into these essentials, on the ground, fast.
We have come together before
Within days of 25 April, Nepalis abroad sent money, food, medicine and tarpaulins. Mission Rebuild Nepal was operating on the fourth day, four months before it was formally constituted.
When hospitals ran short of oxygen, a consortium of eight organisations bought generators and high-pressure filling systems in France and moved them to Nepal.
We have seen what is possible when Nepalis work together. Today, we need that same spirit again.

Sindhupalchowk and Dhading districts, Nepal
Mission Critical Nepal was the emergency operation that Mission Rebuild Nepal's founders ran in the weeks after the 25 April 2015 earthquake, four months before the organisation was formally constituted. Mobile medical camps in Sindhupalchowk treated 250 patients. Four village development committees in Sindhupalchowk and Dhading received a month of food reserves for 6,100 people. Fifteen hundred tents were distributed, and Sipapokhare was declared a no-hunger zone once every household in the VDC had been reached. The team was in Bhotang, on the Tibetan border, when the 12 May aftershock struck.

Sipapokhare VDC, Sindhupalchowk, Nepal
Sipapokhare is a village development committee in southern Sindhupalchowk, about 40 miles north-east of Kathmandu. The 2015 earthquakes destroyed or critically damaged almost all of its 998 homes and killed around 100 of its 3,700 residents. Mission Rebuild Nepal set out to give every displaced household a transition home: a timber frame on a stone plinth, walls of local stone and mud, and a corrugated zinc roof, built by the families who would live in it. When the project closed in June 2017, a ward-by-ward physical count confirmed 800 houses delivered.

Hospitals across Nepal; equipment manufactured in France
Nepal's second Covid-19 wave in the spring of 2021 exposed how little medical oxygen the country could produce for itself. Mission Rebuild Nepal led a consortium of eight organisations that bought ten oxygen generators and five high-pressure cylinder filling systems from Novair S.A. in France, then spent close to two years moving them through government approvals, a failed air-freight tender and a forced switch to sea cargo. The first installations were reported in January 2023.

Old Sinamangal (Pepsicola), Kathmandu-32
The Special School for Disabled and Rehabilitation Center takes children with autism and other disabilities, charges no school fees, and had 45 pupils against a waiting list of 400 when Mission Rebuild Nepal chose it as its 2019 cause. MRN set out to fund nine classrooms, a toilet block and a canteen, at a target of $60,000, releasing money in instalments against proof of completed work. Two transfers totalling NPR 2,047,372 are documented in the school's building fund receipts, in February 2020 and April 2021.

Sipapokhare, Sindhupalchowk
Having finished 800 houses at Sipapokhare in Sindhupalchowk, Mission Rebuild Nepal turned to the village school. It added a storey to Rajeshwori School through 2017, and published photographs of the finished two-storey block in August 2018. The surviving record of this project is thin, and this page says only what that record supports.

How the money moves
Funds are never released in one lump. They move in stages, gated on receipts from the field, so a gift is traceable from the card to a family’s front door.
The Nepal country director and board submit a monthly estimate. Forty per cent of it is transferred and is available immediately.
When between half and four fifths of that money is spent, the Nepal team must send receipts and a full expense breakdown to the US office.
The balance follows in two chunks of 30 per cent, each verified against real spend.
Our board and volunteers take no salary, and we hold administrative costs below 15 per cent. In Nepal no money moves without three independent signatures, and spending is recorded to the granular detail — down to a single nail or brick.
“Mandir management became pleasantly surprised when MRN provided such detailed proof of how the funds were used, including the material cost up to a single nail or brick… Mandir decided to sponsor another enhanced design 12 houses with shade for the livestock.”
