Supporting Women and Children

through Disaster Relief and Community Engagement

RECENT NEWS

Nepal Flood Relief

In Nepal devastating flash floods in August swept away entire villages, with over 3000 dead and thousands still missing. Our AMURTEL teams are working closely with our partner AMURT and other NGOs in bringing desperately needed supplies to those families and communities stranded without even the bare essentials. Following a preliminary needs assessment, AMURT/EL mobilized 16 tons of food and essential relief supplies for the severely affected communities in Rasuwa and Nuwakot.

Earthquake relief in South America

The death toll from the massive twin earthquakes that struck South America in June has climbed past 6,000 and many thousands are still unaccounted for. Along with the loss of life, there are tens of thousands still displaced and facing homelessness and lack of basic necessities. Amurtel teams have been invited to help in five shelters around the Caracas area.
