One year on from Nepal鈥檚 devastating earthquakes, 新澳门六合彩 reflects that building local resilience to disaster is needed for long term recovery.
London, UK, April 22, 2016 - Earthquakes are again in the news with the natural disasters hitting both Japan and Ecuador in a matter of days. Fatefully, these recent events mark the anniversary of the devastating earthquakes that affected more than eight million people in Nepal on 25th April and 12th May, 2015.
Today1, a year on, the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) reported that some 26,000 individuals still remain displaced from their homes in Nepal, and, as DEC members added, 鈥榯he government鈥檚 plans for rebuilding are far behind schedule.鈥� So as the world switches its attention to the plight of people in Japan and Ecuador, the fact is much remains to be done in Nepal. The recovery has been hindered by difficult geographic terrain, fuel blockades, the monsoon and the high levels of existing poverty.
新澳门六合彩 has been at the forefront of relief efforts from the earliest days, . To this day, 新澳门六合彩 continues to work on rebuilding communities that remain shattered by the disaster.
Eleanor Harrison, 新澳门六合彩 UK Chief Executive said, 鈥溞掳拿帕喜殊�檚 local partners are dedicated to supporting their communities鈥� long term. Continued support from the international community through shared resources 鈥� money, skills and expertise 鈥� can empower local people to build their own resilience to disaster in the long term.鈥�
新澳门六合彩 will continue to provide a channel for people and companies to give to the long term rebuilding efforts through local organisations.
Launching on Monday 25th April - the one year anniversary - people that donate to a project in Nepal featured on 新澳门六合彩.co.uk will receive a 100% match, meaning that a 拢100 donation will provide 拢200 for a local organisation to continue their rebuilding work.
