Nepal

Save the Children staff spoke to children in Nuwakot district who said they are fearful and anxious after witnessing wide-ranging horrors including school buses full of friends washed away, their homes submerged and everything they hold dear carried away by the waters.

Nine school children have been reunited with their families after being stranded at school for two days by the devastating flash floods in Northern Nepal, as rescue efforts continue to reach other students, Save the Children said.

Rescuers are racing to find survivors in the flash flood-devastated areas of Northern Nepal, as Save the Children delivers emergency aid to families, with many places still only accessible by helicopter.

A Save the Children assessment in the immediate aftermath of the protests revealed grave violations of children’s rights by state security forces, including deaths, injuries, arbitrary arrests and widespread trauma among children and young people. The assessment also exposed critical weaknesses in the country’s child protection systems during political unrest.

Koiladi village, located along the Koshi River in Saptari district, is home to families primarily from Dalit communities, including Mushahar and Mukhiya. The village is highly prone to flooding, and most households rely on seasonal agricultural labour, fishing, or temporary migration to India for income.

In the heart of Dailekh, where patriarchy and traditional gendered mindsets dictate livelihood choices, a small factory run by a group of young women is defying all odds and breaking the glass ceiling—head-on!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that when the earth shook on April 25, 2015, the lives of Nepalis changed forever. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake, which had its epicentre in Gorkha, Nepal - about 110 km northwest of Kathmandu - which claimed more than 9,000 lives and displaced millions. In the decade since, we’ve rebuilt homes and restored infrastructure, but the deeper cracks in our disaster preparedness systems remain alarmingly unaddressed.
