ANHS announces initial US $100,000 commitment for Nepal flood relief

America Nepal Helping Society (ANHS) has announced an initial US $100,000 commitment toward charitable relief following the 26 August 2026 Bhote Koshi flash flood and is inviting individuals, businesses, and organizations to support the response.

The flash flood affected communities along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river systems, including Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, and Gorkha. Government agencies and humanitarian organizations continue to assess casualties, damage, and urgent needs; reported figures may change as information is verified.

The Government of Nepal has issued an appeal for support through the Prime Minister's disaster-relief funds. ANHS will determine the appropriate recipient or qualified relief partner after due diligence and consistent with applicable US and Nepalese requirements. The announced commitment should not be understood as a government endorsement of this campaign.

Initial commitment

Fundraising appeal

ANHS invites Nepali-American communities, other diaspora communities, businesses, foundations, and friends of Nepal to contribute through the campaign's verified payment routes.

Contributions may support emergency shelter, food, safe water and sanitation, health services, protection, transport and logistics, and early recovery, subject to verified needs, applicable restrictions, and the availability of qualified recipients.

Administration and accountability

Donations are made to ANHS, a US 501(c)(3) organization, rather than directly to a foreign government. ANHS retains control and discretion over donated funds and will use them for charitable purposes consistent with this appeal and applicable law.

ANHS will publish current campaign totals, incident figures with their sources and reporting times, and verified disbursement information including the recipient, date, amount, and purpose.
