Nepal’s monsoon season has begun, bringing destruction along with it.

Nepal’s disaster management authority predicts that two million Nepalis could be affected this year. About 200,000 of those are expected to need rescue or relief from damaged homes and farms.

In the past few weeks, we have already seen a landslide in Dolpa district damage more than 50 homes, and several people lost their lives when a flood in the northern Rasuwa district washed away a bridge linking Nepal to China.

We’re seeing the changing climate bring more extreme and unpredictable weather patterns to Nepal. Last year’s monsoon brought the heaviest rainfall in 77 years.

More rain can mean more crops – but they can all be washed away in a flood.

Monsoon response 2025

The marginalised communities we serve are particularly vulnerable to monsoon season. These families already have little land, and any damage to their precarious livelihoods can plunge them into poverty. Many live in remote hillside villages that are at risk of landslides.

But they won’t be left to cope alone. INF’s partners are poised to help, backed by your support.

Asal Chhimekee Nepal (ACN) is planning to support 3,000 people with food packages and hygiene kits. They could also supply temporary shelter for 600 families whose homes are damaged.

They also plan to provide food and blankets for 200 new mothers and babies, as well as kitchen equipment and building supplies for those with severely damaged homes.

You can support this relief effort by donating to our Nepal Monsoon Appeal – £29 could provide emergency food supplies for a family in their hour of need.

We will continue to give updates on the situation as monsoon season progresses. Thank you so much for your support.
