On November 3, 2023 a powerful earthquake struck Western Nepal. Although the area is nowhere near Khotang, because of contacts and resources developed over the past 13 years, D2N is in a position to provide expeditious relief. We will be partnering with HAPSA, non-profit organization that has been working to strengthen health system in Nepal and BlinkNow Foundation, a non-profit already working in Western Nepal, to provide warm meals, a safe drinking water station, blankets, temporary shelters and other necessary items to help residents in Jajarkot get through the next few days and until longer term solutions can be found.
