Som met this family during his recent time in the flood-devastated area of Nepal.
They are a family suffering terribly. Her husband, brothers, uncles and other male relatives were working on the hydro project on the border when the flood came through. They all lost their lives. This family now have no source of income and they don’t know how to survive.
The mother grabbed Som’s arm and sobbed from grief and sadness. She doesn’t know how to move forward. Som met so many families in a similar situation and he talks about them in his ABC News interview as being victims under-considered when emergency assistance is being distributed. Not only do they deal with the sad loss of family but also the immediate loss of income from the working men in their lives.
FHC are working out how to provide long term support and care to ensure the children of families can continue to access an education. We have space in our Hostel in Batase that can provide immediate care for families like this. It’s a time of extreme suffering and sadness in Nepal. Thank you for your kind and continued support.
