A long road ahead
Remember the children still affected by the earthquake in Nepal. Recovering from such a huge disaster requires
years of effort. It is important that we don’t forget the children and families affected by the earthquake in Nepal.

Continuing support for children towards recovery.
ChildFund will continue to support children in areas affected by the earthquake. Our aim is to provide a safe
environment for children to study by supporting school reconstruction and renovation. We will also support
families and communities with house reconstruction and support for income generation. We continue to walkwith children, parents, teachers and the community along the road to recovery.
