This money will address the critical needs of the people living in Gatlang and Thulo Shyapru.

Their needs

They need a lot of everything: food, tarpaulins, covers, kitchen utensils, basic medication, hygiene products, warm clothes, tools (pickaxes, shovels, gloves, crowbars, masks, jute bags...)

View of Gatlang

> There are no more roads going to those villages, no electricity, no assistance and no healthcare. ALL THE HOUSES WERE DESTROYED DURING THE QUAKE.

Organisation

1/ Christophe Abbou and Azimut Nepal have a team on site in Kathmandu. They will start by buying and packing first aid items and taking them to the agency. First aid packages will be given to families of four as a priority.

2/ Azimut Nepal will organise transport from Kathmandu to the two villages. Once there, guides, carriers and their families who’s villages have been destroyed will carry and distribute the packages.

3/ Rebuilding will take time and depend on the collected funds, given the extent of the damages: about 400 houses in Gatlang and 100 in Thulo Shyapru need to be rebuilt. The rubble will have to be removed before anything else can start, which is why we will send shovels, pickaxes, crowbars, jute bags and so on.

Please note that:

- Communicating with these two villages has been very difficult for about a week.

- Azimut Nepal is not an NGO specialized in emergency action, which comes with reports, projections and salaries. However, Christophe Abbou has worked with the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) for five years and knows very well how to proceed.

In the interests of clarity and transparency, I would like to specify that:

1/ All profits – the collected amount, the 8% taken by KKBB and the production costs (photo printing and sending) – will go into the project. I myself have contributed 100€.

2/ All profits collected through my company (Amu Darya) will be delivered to Chirstophe's (Azimut Nepal), who will assess the situation on site and organise the spending according to the most urgent needs.

3/ You will be made aware of the advancement of the project. This way, you will be able to appreciate the importance of your contribution. I will personally keep you posted regularly via email and social networks.
