Thorn back in time
The flash flood in Nepal is setting the country back completely. After more than 10 years of the devastating earthquakes of 2015 and the pandemic, it seemed the country and its people were finally getting back on the road to recovery… Wednesday’s tidal wave is a brutal reset back in time. 😥 Many have drowned. Villages have been wiped out. Farmland is flooded. Infrastructure is irreparably damaged. The social and economic consequences are enormous, in the short and long term.
A disaster like this has unimaginable consequences for the immediate victims, but also for the rest of the country. The supply of food to cities is cutting off. Tourism revenue is disappearing. Businesses are going bankrupt. People are becoming unemployed. The cycle of poverty and despair is growing ever larger, suffocating and destroying.
4 Smiling Faces cannot help everyone, but we all can help someone. It is now more important than ever to reach out a helping hand. This can be done on a one-off basis, but given the scale of the disaster, long-term aid is at least as important. Because this isn’t going to be over just like that; this is going to last for years. By making a recurring donation to 4 Smiling Faces, you are that outstretched hand our children in Nepal so desperately need. With your donation, you don’t just make an impact — you support, help, and offer comfort during difficult times. 🩷
