Elevate Nepal | Ongoing Relief Efforts in Nepal

A day of giving.
A year of impact.

Giving Tuesday is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We’re looking for new monthly donors to help us bring clean water, electricity, and toilets to thousands of more families in rural Nepal.

Our mission in action:
Working in Nepal's most rural communities

A proven approach. A lasting impact.

We’re focused on some of Nepal’s most remote, rural communities that are often overlooked in larger development initiatives.
After successfully bringing clean water, electricity, and toilets to multiple villages in mountainous Makwanpur,
we’re expanding our impact to surrounding areas.

HOW WE DO IT

Local Partnerships

We work closely with municipal governments and village leadership to bring projects to life. This not only creates jobs and teaches important skills, but it creates a sense of ownership.

Laser Focus

Water, toilets, and electricity aren’t always the most flashy projects. But they’re the most essential building blocks for growing sustainable communities.

Maintenance

With the establishment of a local community development committee, monthly maintenance program, and transferable skills training, the infrastructure we build is protected.

Village Voices

"Before everything was very difficult for us. With the water, electricity and new toilets life now is very easy and we are happy."

- DidiResident of Deurali

"Before Elevate Nepal arrived, I never thought someone would take the time to think about the struggles we have in this village. Now I feel like this place is heaven."

- Babu La ParchaResident of Gopeghari

“The village has certainly developed compared to the past. We used to rely on collected water from the streams. Now, we don't have to worry about not being able to eat and drink. Before, we used to eat insects.”

- BajeyResident of Gopeghari

"Thanks to Elevate Nepal and their plan, the people in these villages got some relief with the new water supply. If this plan had not been here, nobody would even bother doing the work."

- Harka Bahadur DongElevate Nepal Main Builder

"Due to a lack of water, we could not grow vegetables. Now that water is here, we can grow our own food and keep our bellies full."
