NEPAL Relief

nepal

We at Planet Changer, in response to the earthquake devastation in Nepal, are standing with them and are committed to bring emergency aid in response to this disaster. Central Nepal (the Kathmandu Valley) is the worst hit as hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by the 7.8 quake.

The death-toll, which is already at 8400 and climbing, is expected to eclipse 10,000. As buildings and villages have been reduced to rubble, the need for emergency food, water, shelter and medical attention is overwhelming to say the least.

With such sever devastation, rescue/emergency teams are working round the clock to bring in aid. It is already estimated that 1,000,000 children are in areas that have been affected.

PLANET CHANGER RESPONDS

 

We are partnering with two organizations that are on the ground delivering emergency help in the areas of food, water, clothing, shelter and medical care. Through partnering with World Vision and Doctors Without Borders, the Nepalese families will receive emergency and sustainable care from these two organizations that are experts in disaster relief.

The devastation in Nepal is not a quick fix or a short-term problem but will need ongoing help rebuilding, therefore it is our aim to keep working with partners on the ground to help rebuild, revitalize and renew the region.

Thank you for donating to Planet Changer to make a difference in Nepal.

Muhammad Ali on Poverty…

“Wars against nations are fought to change maps; wars against poverty are fought to map change.”

— Muhammad Ali

We Have More Than We Think…

‎”If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world. If you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy. If you woke up this morning with more health than illness you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation you are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering. If you can read this message you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read at all.”

Seven Worst International Aid Ideas

‎”Sometimes bad aid is just the consequence of someone caring too much, but knowing too little. Other times it’s people who should have known better not being diligent in considering the consequences of their actions.”
