PWRDF Providing Relief after Nepal Earthquake

PWRDF has announced an initial grant of $20,000 in relief funds for Nepal after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake devastated the region between Kathmandu and Pokhara on Saturday. To date, over 3700 people are known to have died in the quake and 6500 have been injured as buildings in both cities and the towns and villages in between were damaged or destroyed.

PWRDF is responding through the ACT Alliance.  ACT members with offices in Kathmandu began providing immediate relief– food, water, shelter and medical supplies– within hours of the quake, and are currently determining what the greatest needs are as they coordinate their response.  PWRDF will continue to be in contact with ACT to determine the need for support, and will react accordingly.

All donations to PWRDF between April 25 and May 25, 2015 for the Nepal earthquake relief efforts will be matched, dollar for dollar, by the Government of Canada into their Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund, which will be used to provide humanitarian relief in the wake of this catastrophe.
