Global Action Nepal ( GAN)

Global Action Nepal (GAN) has worked for many years to improve the quality of education, school health, gender and environmental education in Nepal. We have previously worked with schools and communities in Rasuwa districts, including supporting communities during the aftermath of the devastating 2015 earthquake.

When a disaster takes away a school, it takes away much more than a building.

Children displaced by the flood are now living in temporary shelters, public buildings and displacement sites. They are facing interrupted education, fear and psychosocial distress, separation from familiar support systems, and heightened risks of exploitation, trafficking and long-term exclusion from education.

Current Education Situation in Flooding area

On 26 August 2026, a catastrophic flood triggered by a rock–ice avalanche and debris flow crossing the Nepal–China border in the upper Bhote Koshi River basin devastated communities across Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and downstream districts of Nepal.

Families have lost their homes, livelihoods and loved ones. Schools have been damaged, swept away or turned into shelters. For thousands of children, the disaster has meant the sudden loss of their classroom, friends, teachers and sense of security.

According to the Education Cluster Situation Report of 1 September 2026, approximately 9,800 children in 32 flood-affected schools have had their learning disrupted. Eight public schools are being used as shelters for around 1,200 children.

The human cost is devastating. 18 people from 12 schools—including 17 students and one teacher, have been swept away, while 249 people, including 233 students and 15 teachers and one other remain missing.

We are now seeking urgent support to help children
affected by this latest disaster.

The priorities area for response & early recovery Initiatives :

Every contribution can help a child keep learning.
The emergency response cannot wait for children to return to normal. For many children, learning is part of the pathway back to normal.

Your contribution can help us create a safe space where a displaced child can sit with a teacher, open a book, play with other children, receive emotional support and begin to rebuild a sense of hope.
