Our hearts are with the people of Nepal following the devastating flash floods that struck the Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts this week. The loss of life and the number of people still missing is heartbreaking, and we hold the families and communities affected, and all those still searching for loved ones, in our prayers and practice.

Upaya is in contact with our network in Nepal to assess where best to send donations to support flood victims and survivors. We will be posting that on our website and social media channels once we have the details.
