Sapana Village has delivered essential relief materials to flood-affected families in Uttargaya Rural Municipality–2, Rasuwa, following an official request from the Rural Municipality for urgent support amid a severe shortage of basic supplies.
In response to the request, Sapana Village provided a range of essential relief items, including EcoStoves, quilts, rice, essential medicines, nutritious food for babies, sanitary pads, soap, and dental hygiene kits.
Reaching the affected community was extremely challenging due to the difficult road conditions caused by the disaster. The Sapana Village team travelled for approximately 32 hours over two days, travelling both day and night, to reach the remote and severely affected area and deliver the relief materials directly to families in need.
During the journey, the team also visited the holding centre at Trishuli Colony to assess the immediate needs of displaced people and discuss the situation with government officials. This helped the team better understand the changing needs of affected communities and identify areas where further support may be required.
Upon reaching Uttargaya, the team witnessed the devastating impact of the flood firsthand and listened to the experiences of local residents who had lived through the disaster. The scale of destruction has left many families facing profound loss and uncertainty. Families have lost homes and livelihoods, while some have lost loved ones. Children have been separated from their parents, and parents have lost their children.
Beyond distributing relief materials, the visit provided an opportunity for the Sapana Village team to listen to affected families, understand their immediate concerns, and offer solidarity and emotional support during an exceptionally difficult period.
The relief initiative reflects Sapana Village’s commitment to standing alongside communities during times of crisis. In the aftermath of disaster, practical assistance is essential, but so is being present, listening, and reminding affected families that they are not alone.
