The increasing global temperature means glaciers are melting and placing the big mountain communities at risk of flash flooding, landslips and unprecedented events.
Mountains often lie along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where immense geological forces are at play. These collision zones, such as the Himalayas have an increased likelihood of seismically active. This means that communities living in or near mountainous regions are particularly vulnerable to seismic hazards.
When disaster strikes, we act swiftly, utilising available emergency funds to provide immediate relief and support to those whose lives have been upturned.
In these critical moments, we also call upon our incredible supporters to stand with us, helping affected communities recover and rebuild during and after natural disasters. Your generosity makes urgent, life-changing assistance possible when it’s needed most.
