Relief and Recovery for earthquake affected families

A 7.9 richter scale earthquake hit Nepal on Saturday, the 25th of April 2015, which shook the entire country and left with massive destruction in human casualties and physical property, leaving people in unforgettable pain and tears. Thousands of old houses and temples have completely been destroyed.
Many more houses were damaged rendering thousands more homeless and without shelter. They have lost their homes, their belongings and most importantly, their families. The continuous aftershocks are shaking people’s confidence. Even the people who have their houses safe stayed outside their homes under the plastic sheets as there had been continuous strong aftershocks, and nobody dared to go inside. It is estimated that about 40 percent of the population is affected by this disaster in different parts of the country.
