About Me

Hi guys, I’m Abhishek Kumar from www.the1stopshop.in   

 I’ve been watching the coverage of the earthquake in Nepal and the death and destruction statistics are saddening. I have decided to do something to help the people directly affected by this natural disaster. And I know there are people just like me, who want to help too. Here is how...

The Cause

• The death toll has risen to 2200 across the country as per the Associated Press and is likely to increase more.

• At least 31 aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 or greater had been felt in and around Nepal.

• Heavy rains have further worsened the situation, dropping temperatures to 3 degrees Celsius.

The Funds

The funds we raise will go towards providing those affected by the earthquake with medicine, shelter and rehabilitation.The funds raised will go to CARE INDIA who will be working with its team from CARE NEPAL and utlilizing the same to dispurse survival kits to the affected families and individuals in Nepal. The kits would include basic amenitites for survival such as Tarpaulin, Mats, Hygiene Kit(Soap ,toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary Napkins & Disinfectants Soaps) and blankets.
