Earthquake Aid

Earthquake in April / May 2015 in Nepal and the Aftereffects

The year 2015 brought about great changes for the children and families of Nepal. Devastating earthquakes have distroyed many homes, roads were buried and many families lost all their belongings.

The Little Stars team would like to sincerely thank you all for your generous donations that allowed us to provide quick and efficient help for the needy. This is very motivating for us and we will continue to devote our time and energy to our voluntary work for underpriviledged children and families in Nepal.

Our project villages Amthang, Kimtang and Okharpauwa were badly hit by the earthquake in April / May 2015.

Our Health Post in Amthang had just been opened when it was destroyed completely during the earthquake.  The festive inauguration of the rebuilt earthquake-proof Health Post in Amthang took place in October 2016. In Kimtang Little Stars  supported the reconstruction of the monastery which was badly damaged in the earthquake, and of a second Gompa in Ward 7.

In Okharpauwa Little  Stars organised a number of relief supplies to provide the villagers  with food, blankets, mosquito netting and items of everyday necessities. The villagers also received tin sheets  to cover their temporary  shelters. This helped them to  protect their families and their  belongings from the rain during the monsoon.

Little Stars set up a provisional Health Post to be able to offer medical help to the people of Okharpauwa that was urgently required. Also the damage to the Mahalaxmi School building needed to be repaired. After finishing the refurbishment work in autumn 2016, lessons could be held again in the newly arranged classrooms.

Little Stars supported some of the poorest families in the reconstruction of their destroyed or badly damaged homes.
