Nepal Earthquake - Ways You Can Help
After hearing the devastating news about the earthquake in Nepal, we wanted to not only find out how we could help, but also put together a list of resources for you so you can decide the way that you want to help too. Funds are needed from the groups that are working in Nepal so that they can get medical care, food and shelter to the people that have been affected. In an article for NPR, Center for Global Development fellow Vijaya Ramachandran says:
“The aid that comes in within the first weeks and even months is of a life-saving nature. That’s the period when the local capacity is almost zero. So outside help is really important.”
Here are some organizations that are helping:
