Emergency

responding in times of crises

When crisis strikes, urgent resources are ready, and often prepositioned, to reach areas in need as quickly as possible through ADRA’s global network and partners. Funds, materials, and personnel are coordinated through ADRA’s country offices nearest to the disaster so plans can be put into action immediately and appropriate relief supplies reach the areas hardest hit.

IMPACT

160,000+

Beneficiaries

In recent years, ADRA Nepal has delivered timely and essential relief for earthquake-affected areas in Doti, Bajhang, Jajarkot, and West Rukum as well as flood-hit communities in Sarlahi and Rautahat. These efforts build on our 20+ years of experience in Disaster Risk Management, including our notable response during the 2015 Nepal earthquake, where we supported over 160,000 families in collaboration with government authorities.

PROJECTS

Integrated Reproductive Health Camps

Integrated Reproductive Health Camps bring critical health care to Jajarkot and West Rukum in Karnali District – areas affected by earthquakes last year.  The Earthquakes disrupted regular health services and highlighted the need for specialist services in these remote hilly regions. The project is organising 28 health camps, targeting 8400 recipients in coordination with the local municipalities with a key focus on increasing service usage for the marginalised populations and advocacy for reproductive health issues within the communities. While the camps are primarily targeting women, general healthcare is also provided and available to men visiting the camps. This project is supported by UKAID through UN organizations (JRAP), with additional contributions from ADRA Switzerland and ADRA UK. It will run from August to December 2024.
