#WeHelpNepal connects with #FillTheBucket

#Fillthebucket was founded in the aftermath of the natural disasters that hit Nepal after the monsoon rains in 2014.

The idea was to deliver versatile buckets containing basic essentials like non perishable food items, first aid, toiletries, and tarpaulins for temporary shelter. Within a month's time #Fillthebucket was able to assist 2500 affected homeless families covering more than 12 villages. Immediately after the earthquake on April 25th, #fillthebucket started a recce in and around Kathmandu to assess what was most essential to the victims.

Relief aid, while well intentioned, often ends up in the pockets of corrupt local bureaucrats and/or multinational contracts, with very little reaching the people that actually need it. Ensure that your contributions reach those in need.
