From First Aid to Structural Water Resource Management

A magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck Nepal on April 25, 2015, toppling multi-story buildings in the capital and creating landslides and avalanches in the Himalaya Mountains. Nearly 9,000 people died and more than 22,000 suffered injuries. WfWP provided its member in Nepal, WPLUS, a grant to support earthquake victims of Sindhupalchowk district to regain access to drinking water. In consultation with the community the initial aid project transformed into a programme educating and supporting communities in water resource management and gender equality.
