Campaign Goal Reached: 2,772 Water Filters Funded!

Thanks to the incredible response of 174 generous donors, our emergency campaign for Nepal is now 100% fully funded! A total of 2,772 emergency water filters have been purchased, shipped, and mobilized for distribution across flood-impacted communities.

• On-the-Ground Impact: Over 200 filters have already been set up in hard-hit mountain villages. At the request of local ward duty offices, filters were also delivered to local emergency personnel to keep first-responder stations safe and operational.
• Overcoming Obstacles: Local communities—where over 1,000 people are homeless in single village areas—have expressed immense gratitude. Displaced farmer Anamol shared with our team: “You have brought such wonderful items… now we can survive.”
• Sustainable Relief: While initial bottled water distributions ran out quickly, our 10-year water filters provide an immediate, lasting solution against waterborne diseases like cholera and dysentery as monsoon rains continue.

• Broadening Coalition: Partner Prem is mobilizing distribution teams alongside YWAM, Cru, and emergency responders to reach newly accessible landslide zones.
• The Bhaktapur Christian Community Network: A total of 94 local churches have now joined the response effort and Joshua is coordinating directly with the Red Cross and local government authorities to ensure aid reaches those most in need.

• Local Partnership Formalized: Our local partner Joshua has helped organize over 90 Nepalese churches across the country to deliver aid as the hands and feet of Jesus and the Church’s love.

First Shipment Packed & En Route to Kathmandu

Visual update straight from our manufacturing facility dock in Asia: Crates containing the first 1,000 emergency filters have been packed, loaded, and air-shipped to Kathmandu!

• Rapid Response: Raised in under 48 hours thanks to an emergency donor drive, these filters remove 99.99% of bacteria and protozoa, turning contaminated floodwaters into clean drinking water for 10 years.

$50,000 Goal Met in Under 48 Hours

Praise the Lord! In less than two days, our donor community rallied to raise the full $50,000 needed to fund Joshua’s urgent request for 1,000 emergency water filters.

• Expanding the Mission: Due to the overwhelming momentum and severity of the disaster, we are opening a second phase to fund an additional 1,500 filters for our second Nepali partner Prem and local Christian emergency responders.
• High Need: Nepal enters a critical window where bottled water becomes scarce. These filters serve as physical lifelines while opening doors for local believers to share Gospel hope in a region that is nearly 90% unreached.

ORIGINAL APPEAL from August 31st, 2026

Urgent Relief Call: Glacial Lake Outburst Causes Mass Flooding

A catastrophic flash flood triggered by a massive ice and rock avalanche near the Nepal–Tibet border has swept away entire mountain villages, roads, and power infrastructure.

• The Disaster: Over 1,300 people remain unaccounted for. Monsoons continue to dump heavy rain, and damaged water systems leave thousands displaced and vulnerable to deadly waterborne illnesses like cholera and dysentery.
• Safety Confirmation: Local partners Joshua and Prem and their teams are confirmed safe.
• Urgent Request: Joshua has requested 1,000 emergency water filters beyond our previously planned outreach to deploy directly into isolated landslide zones.
