On the scene post-Nepal’s 2015 humanitarian disaster, our reporter Mike ‘Sky’ King was so exasperated with the ineffectiveness of the relief efforts that he started working with a brave teenager named Suman Khadka, who took it upon himself to help his devastated village. This became a charity called Suman’s Story – Direct Aid for Nepal, which has received global media coverage for its efforts.

Mike To The Rescue

      In 2015 the charity distributed hundreds of emergency food packages, tarpaulins, water filters, and 70 tons of rice. Six hundred chickens were also bought to set up a chicken farm.
      After the initial relief effort, Suman’s Story – Direct Aid for Nepal endeavored to further help Suman’s village of Palchok. Palchok is home to 586 families, many of which have received little assistance since the initial quake. After a needs assessment by medical professionals, a drop-in health clinic complete with a part-time nurse was established and is operating to this day.

You Can Help

      Mike would like to continue operating the health clinic for one more year. With some funds already set aside, Mike is seeking just USD $2,000 to operate the clinic for another 12 months and ensure the villagers receive all the basic healthcare they need while they rebuild their shattered village.
      To contribute, please go here.
      If a direct contribution is not possible, Mike is also desperate for airline tickets to help with oversight of the existing operation. Currently, international volunteers with suitable medical experience absorb all costs associated with flying to Nepal from the UK and Indonesia.
