Kathmandu, Sept. 3
Heifer
International Nepal and its staff have contributed Rs. 10 million into the Prime
Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund (PMDRF) in support of communities affected by
the devastating floods and landslides along the Nepal-China border.
"For
Heifer Nepal, the contribution is both an expression of solidarity and a
practical commitment to supporting people affected by the disaster," it
said in a statement. The donation includes funds allocated from Heifer Nepal’s
emergency provision as well as contributions made directly by staff, who
dedicated a portion of their salaries to the relief effort.
Dr.
Tirtha Raj Regmi, Country Director-Heifer International Nepal, said in addition
to this financial contribution, Heifer Nepal and its employees are also prioritising
immediate humanitarian support for affected communities, including essential
food, medical care and other urgent assistance.
According
to him, as the immediate emergency response transitions toward recovery, the
organisation will continue to explore ways to support families in restoring
their livelihoods and rebuilding resilient communities.
Meanwhile, the
NADA Automobiles Association of Nepal contributed Rs. 1 million to the Fund.
A
delegation led by Surendra Kumar Upreti, president of the association, handed
over a cheque bearing the amount to Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle on
Thursday.
