At Karunika Foundation, we stand with children and families not just in school and nutrition — but when emergencies strike.

Nepal’s geography and climate bring annual challenges: monsoon rains, floods, landslides, and seasonal hardships.
When disaster hits, it’s children and vulnerable households that suffer first.

Our Aid Programs are designed to respond quickly to urgent needs while building long-term resilience for communities we serve.

Recent Disaster Response & Recovery

🌧️ 2024 Heavy Rains, Floods & Landslides – Lama Gaun

In the aftermath of severe monsoon rains and landslides last year, many community structures — including school kitchens and learning spaces — were destroyed or badly damaged.

Thanks to our partners and supporters, Karunika Foundation:

• Rebuilt all damaged school kitchens in Lama Gaun

• Restored essential facilities for continued meal programs

• Provided emergency support to affected families

• Ensured children could stay in school after the disaster

This work prevented interruptions in nutrition and education for hundreds of children.

Ongoing Community Needs

🏠 Child Shelter & Safe Housing

Extreme poverty and unstable housing are real daily risks:

• 6 children and their grandmother are currently living in a structurally unsafe home, at risk of collapse

• Many children live in temporary metal shelters without insulation — dangerous in winter

• Families lack safe, weather-resistant housing near schools

We are currently raising support for:

• Rebuilding or reinforcing unsafe homes

• Winter-proof shelters for children and families

• Hostel support in Shaktikhor area for children traveling long distances

Your shelter contributions directly save lives and protect children.

🚸 School Safety & Child Protection

In remote areas, long daily walks to school expose children to hazards:

• wildlife encounters

• rough mountain paths

• river crossings at monsoon season

We are prioritizing:

• Safe walking routes and group escorts

• Community-based child protection systems

• Night shelters near schools where needed

These interventions reduce preventable risk and support lasting education.

Individual Emergency Support

Karunika also responds to urgent individual cases, including:

• Accidents & health emergencies

• Sudden loss of family income

• Food deficiency in severely impoverished households

• Critical seasonal needs (winter clothing, blankets, firewood, fuel)

Every year, dozens of children and families receive individualized support based on immediate need.

Why Aid Programs Matter

Children impacted by disaster or extreme poverty are at risk of:

• dropping out of school

• chronic malnutrition

• exposure to weather hazards

• safety threats during travel

Aid programs protect child safety, education continuity, and community stability.

Your support doesn’t just respond to an emergency —
it prevents long-term setbacks in a child’s life.
