On April 2015, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal. Danakosha Trust´s funding activities focused on emergency relief and reconstruction support after the earthquakes in Nepal. Cooperation with many companies and associations both in Finland and in Nepal enabled transportation and distribution of humanitarian aid in the disaster areas.
The main recipients of aid have been the villages of Bholung and Lamagaun in Nepal.
In spring 2015 Danakosha Trust signed a cooperation agreement with Madventures in order to help.
The village of Bholung was supported with:
Building materials including metal sheets in order to accommodate 143 villagers temporarily; insulation materials for winter; a chainsaw for reconstruction work; purifying devices for clean drinking water; and blankets and quilts.
We have also supported the community by helping out in transportation of the reconstruction materials. Danakosha Trust has participated in the building expenses of temporary classrooms with other donors.
