We are working on providing warm blankets to families who lost their homes in the Nepal earthquake and haven’t been able to rebuild in time. Even to this date they are relying on tarps, tents and temporary shelters with limited or no access to warm clothes to fend off cold. Thousands of children, elderly persons and women are the ones who are suffering more.
YTS is already working with other youth group like Nepal Share and Believers with goals of reaching more families in most remote part of Nepal and our unified effort has helped us reach to communities which were otherwise very hard to reach. To this date we have purchased more than 2000 warm blankets worth $13,000 for more than 1000 families.
We are raising funds currently with target of reaching to at least 5000 families within two weeks of time. A warm blanket costs $10 and we are looking to buy at least 10,000 of them. We are requesting ANMF to kindly consider donating 1000 blankets. Approximate cost is $10,000.
This effort is all volunteer driven with no overhead cost and we can assure you that blankets will go to most needy. Our team on the ground has done need assessment and has started reaching to people who are at high risk.
We have distributed 700 Blankets for Shreechour VDC, Okhaldhunga. 4 of our team members are still there since last week because of the remoteness of the location. 210 Blankets were distributed in Budakhani and Banakhu VDCs in Kavre. 450 Blankets were distributed in Sitka (Khadadevi), of Ramechap. We are awaiting pictures from all of these areas.
