DISASTER PROFILE On April 25, 2015, 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook Nepal. Less than three weeks later, on May 12, a 7.3-magnitude earthquake followed. These were compounded by hundreds of high-intensity aftershocks.

The people of Nepal felt the impact of these disasters with over 9,000 fatalities. Over 600,000 homes and 8,000 schools were destroyed, disrupting the daily life of 8 million people, including the education of 3.2 million children.

OUR WORK Thanks to critical support from partners, donors, local communities, and volunteers from around the world, All Hands and Hearts - Smart Response has run an impactful program in Nepal since April 2015. Now three years on, we continue to respond to the community’s needs with our local partner Relief Nepal. From the response phase of rubbling and debris removal immediately following the earthquakes to the current recovery phase of rebuilding schools, we’ve rebuilt 17 schools in Nepal and are dedicated to continue the work of giving the children of Nepal safe places to learn and play.

OUR MISSION To effectively and efficiently address the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. By listening to local people, and deploying a unique model of engaging volunteers to enable direct impact, we rebuild safe, resilient schools, homes and other community infrastructure.
