After the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, the nuns trekked from Amitabha Monastery in Kathmandu to nearby villages to remove rubble, salvage villagers’ possessions, and clear pathways. They also delivered food and medical aid to affected villagers. Many of these villages were inaccessible to traditional relief organizations and government aid. According to the humanitarian nonprofit Live to Love International, with which the nuns collaborate on relief and conservation projects, the nuns delivered 3000 tons of rice and 500 tons of milk to affected villagers and built 10,000 temporary shelters across the region.
