Help families affected by devastating floods and landslides
HSS Nederland is raising funds in the Netherlands to support humanitarian relief efforts for communities affected by the devastating floods and landslides in Nepal.
Every contribution, large or small, can help provide essential support to families facing the aftermath of this disaster.
Funds raised through this appeal will be channelled by HSS Nederland to Sewa International Europe, which is coordinating support for the Nepal relief effort in collaboration with Sewa International Nepal and the wider Sewa network.
Your contribution can help support essential relief and recovery needs in affected communities.
HSS Nederland is mobilising support in the Netherlands as part of its commitment to Sewa — selfless service to society.
Through this campaign, we are bringing together individuals, families and the wider community to support people affected by the disaster in Nepal.
At a time when many families are facing loss, displacement and uncertainty, we can stand together and offer practical support.
1. Food and clean drinking water
2. Temporary shelter and essential household supplies
3. Medicines and medical supplies
4. Hygiene and other basic necessities
5. Support for children, women, elderly people and vulnerable families
6. Recovery and rehabilitation assistance as the situation develops
On 26 August 2026, devastating flash floods triggered by intense monsoon rains swept through the Bhote Koshi River region of Nepal, causing widespread destruction across areas including Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and Gorkha.
Homes, roads, bridges and essential infrastructure have been severely damaged, leaving many communities cut off from assistance. Hundreds of lives have been lost, many people remain missing, and thousands of families have been affected by the loss of homes, livelihoods and access to basic necessities.
The situation remains extremely challenging, with damaged infrastructure and communication disruptions making access to some communities difficult.
Sewa International Europe is coordinating humanitarian support from Europe and working with the wider Sewa network, including Sewa International Nepal, to respond to emerging needs in affected communities.
Support is being coordinated for essential relief requirements such as food, drinking water, medicines, temporary shelter, hygiene supplies and assistance for vulnerable families, followed by rehabilitation and recovery support as the situation develops.
The Government of Nepal has established mechanisms for the coordination of disaster-relief assistance and has called for financial contributions through officially authorised channels.
Sewa International Europe respects and supports these directives and is coordinating its response in accordance with the guidance and procedures established by the Government of Nepal and the relevant authorities.
The priority remains clear: save lives, support survivors and help communities recover.
In our traditions, Sewa — selfless service — is a powerful expression of dharma and humanity.
This is a moment to look beyond borders and differences and come together in support of people facing an extraordinary humanitarian crisis.
Every contribution, no matter the size, can help strengthen the relief effort and bring essential support to affected families.
