Help support flood-affected communities in Nepal
Our thoughts are with the people of Nepal following devastating floods that have destroyed homes, damaged critical infrastructure and left communities isolated.
Nelson and NMIT have a strong Nepalese community, and many people in our region and our NMIT whānau have family and friends directly affected by the disaster.
If you are able to help, there are two ways you can donate:
Nelson Nepalese Community Inc.
Donations collected by the Nelson Nepalese Community Inc. will be contributed directly to the Prime Minister’s Disaster Fund to support communities affected by the floods.
