Nepal Earthquake Appeal
On Saturday 25 April 2015 a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal. It severely shook the lives of at least 8m people and left many homeless. DEC member agencies and their partners worked urgently to provide emergency shelter, food, clean water and blankets. Once immediate, life-saving needs were met they began to work with individuals, families and communities to support them to rebuild their lives. Donations from the UK public for the appeal raised £85 million and have helped hundreds of thousands of people. DEC fundraising for this appeal is now closed but the money raised will continue to be spent over a three year period ending in April 2018.
