We're continuously amazed by the generosity of our clients. Thank you to all of you who have given to our fundraising campaign for AHF Nepal. It truly means the world.
Our fundraising site will close this week on Thursday, May 28th, 2015. If you're still wanting to help support the Avionté team in Nepal recover from the recent earthquake, please submit your donations here by the end of day this Thursday.
According to Saluja Acharya, who works in our Nepal office, the earthquake has completely damaged 143,673 houses and partially damaged 160,786 other homes. It has destroyed 5,000 schools, and has left 350,000 people homeless of which 140,000 are children. The funds raised through this fundraising page will be used to help restore the nearly 90 percent of schools in the impacted areas that have been destroyed by the earthquakes, and to help kids get back to school.
"About 90% of the schools in these impacted areas are destroyed," Saluja said. "Kids need to go back to school so that they can get their mind away from constant fear of earthquake and the impact it has caused to their families. The primary focus of AHF Nepal will always be on helping kids and schools. The amount collected via this fundraiser will be utilized to help to rebuild the schools in impacted areas."
"It has been a fairly scary times in Nepal. And we all appreciate Avionte US taking the time to raise funds for Nepal." - Sandeep Acharya, Avionté Nepal.
"Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. This is what we all need right now ... Thank you for all you guys are doing to raise funds for Nepal." - Saluja Acharya, Avionté Nepal
