CECI’s Nepal team is safe and sound and already working to assess emergency needs while providing immediate relief to victims. Our office in Kathmandu will soon be able to distribute basic necessities to the people (food, water, survival kits, tents, etc.) to meet needs identified by local authorities. Our efforts will provide support to populations in the hardest-hit districts of Sindjupalchowk and Gorkha, where CECI has been active for several years.
CECI Executive Director Claudia Black is calling upon Canadians to give generously. “CECI has been working in Nepal for nearly thirty years. It is the only Canadian international development organization with permanent offices in Kathmandu. CECI has the human resources, knowledge and partner network needed to provide reliable, fast and effective aid on the ground. Help us offer the Nepalese people the relief they need. Every second counts.”
