A monstrous flash flood has ripped through Nepal. A massive chunk of glacier collapsed high in the Himalayas, unleashing a torrent of mud and ice that swept down the valleys, washing away entire villages. People only had seconds to run for their lives. More than 800 people are dead and over 3,000 are missing. Rescuers are in a race against time -- amid warnings of more potential flash floods. Thousands of people urgently need shelter, medicine, clean water and food. This crisis is unfolding NOW and Avaaz is moving fast. With your help, we can help get emergency aid to trusted local groups already mobilising to provide disaster relief in devastated communities. You’ve generously donated to Avaaz before, thank you. I hope you can help again today.
The more we raise from this email, the more aid we can provide. Your donation will also help Avaaz prepare for the next emergency -- keeping funds ready so our movement can respond at lightning speed when communities are in crisis. Wherever you are in the world, this is one of those precious moments when you can reach out and make a real difference in someone's life. Please donate what you can now:

This disaster struck in the rapidly warming Himalayan mountains -- where melting glaciers are putting communities at growing risk. As the burning of fossil fuels drives climate breakdown, disasters like this threaten to hit communities around the world with terrifying speed, and ever more intensity. Avaaz is entirely member-funded -- and right now, that's our superpower.
It means we don't have to wait. When crisis strikes, thousands of us across the world can come together in hours -- pooling small donations into serious emergency funding to help communities in crisis. Your donation will help to fund:
- Emergency shelter for people who've lost their homes;
- Clean water, food and hygiene supplies for families left with nothing;
- Local responders getting lifesaving aid across destroyed roads and bridges;
- Avaaz's rapid response campaigns -- keeping emergency funding ready so our movement can move fast when communities are hit by the next crisis.
Families in Nepal desperately need our help. In another life, it could be any of us -- reeling from shock, searching for loved ones, our homes and everything we own swept away in seconds.
We cannot look away. Please donate what you can now:

Avaaz members have often come together when disaster strikes.
After Nepal's devastating earthquake in 2015, we raised millions to help communities rebuild. When COVID-19 swept the world, Avaaz members rallied to support dozens and dozens of vulnerable communities. And when a massive earthquake hit Syria in 2023, we supported one of the only rescue missions able to function in the country, saving countless lives.
This is another one of those moments. Families in Nepal need us now. We may be spread across the planet, but providing help is right at our fingertips -- and your donation will make a real, measurable difference.
With fierce hope and endless determination,
Julia, Adela, Marigona, Kaitlin, Mike, Nell and the whole team at Avaaz
Note: Avaaz normally only sends one fundraising email a month -- but in an emergency like this, lives are at stake and every second counts. If you can support this urgent appeal, please do.
