When we first heard the news of Nepal’s deadly earthquake (LATEST: Death toll rises to 3,800 in Nepal earthquake), we quickly reached out to our network of friends and partners in the country and confirmed that they are all safe and accounted for.
Many of our fundholders have since reached out to us, with questions about the best ways to help the people of Nepal recover from this disaster.
Below is our list of recommended organizations doing good work on the ground.
