Flood Response 2026 · Rasuwa & Trishuli Corridor

Standing with affected families from day one.

When catastrophic flooding struck Rasuwa and downstream communities, we mobilized immediately—launching a $25,000 relief initiative to deliver urgent shelter, clean water, food and medicine directly to survivors.

Our field teams are on the ground navigating blocked roads to reach isolated villages, ensuring supplies reach families who lost everything.

Behind every load is a ten-year record of direct delivery: 800 homes rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake, lifesaving oxygen during COVID, and verified receipts accounted for down to the single nail.

Verified action on the ground. See how relief moves from your hands to the front lines.

What has happened

These are not just numbers.

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.

“Rajdhani Mandir, located in Northern Virginia, acted promptly after the earthquake news and its congregation donated wholeheartedly, including Mandir organizing several earthquake victims relief fundraisers in Mandir and outside. Mandir was looking to pick an appropriate organization in Nepal, India and/or local to disburse the funds. Although without much history, Mandir reluctantly sponsored 30 houses through MRN. However, 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, names, records and pictures of the recipients of Mandir sponsored houses, and audit trails showing that MRN is truly a zero overhead NGO. Mandir decided to sponsor another enhanced design 12 houses with shade for the livestock. It has been a pleasure to work with and support such dedicated volunteers and their NGO, the MRN.”

How the money moves

We account for every nail

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.

  1. 40%

    Released against an estimate

    The Nepal country director and board submit a monthly estimate. Forty per cent of it is transferred and is available immediately.

  2. ✓

    Receipts checked

    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.

  3. 30%

    Released in two further tranches

    The balance follows in two chunks of 30 per cent, each verified against real spend.

Minimal admin cost.
Straight to the people.

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.

What has been given to this appeal, and what has been spent from it, is published as it is reconciled.
