It was the worst earthquake in more than 80 years. The epicentre was less than 50 miles northwest of Kathmandu, the country’s capital in central Nepal.

Our close friend Gareth Leonard, aka Tourist2Townie.com, documented the first few days post quake. Watch Below:

Be the Change for Jalpa Devi School!

We’re working to raise $18,000 NZD (~$10,300 USD) to rebuild the bathroom facilities at Jalpa Devi School, located in remote Kakani.

As you’ll see, the current bathrooms do not provide the privacy and sanitation that 300 young students desperately need. Our new school bathrooms will offer essential resources for girls, including handwashing stations, to de-stigmatize menstruation and encourage school attendance with confidence and dignity. With your generosity, we can create a safe, clean, and functional space for both girls and boys— ensuring a better and healthier learning environment. ❤️
