In the early hours of 26th August 2026, a glacier collapse triggered flash floods that tore through communities in northern Nepal. Our partner on the ground is already responding – and needs your help to reach more families.

A wall of water swept down the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers into the Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts, with entire settlements decimated in minutes by the flood of water and debris. Roads, bridges, and homes were instantly destroyed and the confirmed death toll has already passed 350 people. There are hundreds of people, both local and foreigners, reported missing as rescue teams struggle to reach communities cut off by the destruction.

Our partner in Nepal, Pastor Ruben Rasaili, was on the ground only hours after the flooding hit, walking through the mud and wreckage to find out what families need most.

“I saw thousands of houses swept away, and people crying for help. They don’t have food, they don’t have clothes, they don’t have a place to live,” Pastor Ruben told us, on his way back from visiting the flood region.

“Even now, we are carrying some of the women who have lost their family members – we rescued them, and we’re taking them to Kathmandu to help them.”

Thousands of Nepali Army personnel are on the ground supporting search and rescue efforts. Many of the families Ruben has met with have lost everything. Right now, they need the basics: food, clean water, and shelter – and Pastor Ruben is heading right back out with supplies for as many as he can reach.

Pastor Ruben has put together a plan to reach many of the affected with:

• Rice, lentils (dahl), sugar & cooking oil

• Clean drinking water

• Emergency tents for 50+ families who have lost their homes

• Transportation to get supplies through the mud to communities cut off by the floods

Every gift, large or small, will go directly to help Pastor Ruben reach families in Nepal with the basics they need to survive the days and weeks ahead.
