Why We Support #WeHelpNepal
We are all deeply moved by the death, destruction and devastation that has struck Nepal since the earthquakes. It's been really hard seeing photos and news coverage of the devastation in Nepal without being able to do anything to help - indeed, all Nepalis living abroad must feel that same sense of numbness and helplessness. Therefore, in support of the ongoing relief efforts in Nepal, we invite you, in the Nepali spirit of generosity, to help us fundraise. The groups supported by your donation are locally-led and therefore know the culture, circumstances and opportunities better than any of us abroad. With your help, we can provide them with the financial support they need to dig themselves and their country out of a huge and tragic disaster.

ABOUT OUR CAMPAIGN
We are not a traditional disaster relief organization.
We Help Nepal is network of artists, business owners, doctors, teachers and development workers who have lived or are currently living in Nepal. We are united by our mutual connection to Nepal and our commitment to alternative development models.
Our expertise comes from our awareness of the Nepali social and political landscape, and our connections to local organizations that are beneath the international radar.
The recent earthquake was a natural disaster intensified by the man-made forces of rapid development, poverty, and conflict driven displacement. This fund will support immediate earthquake relief and rebuilding efforts rooted in a philosophy of relief to self-reliance, disaster to sustainable development.
We recognize that in this tragedy there are seeds of hope that will sprout from the rubble.
