Objective: Between 2016 and 2024, GTA Foundation worked to strengthen disaster resilience and provide critical support to communities affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises. Through its Disaster Relief & Response Program, GTA conducted disaster preparedness activities such as first aid training, disaster response training for school students, teachers, and community volunteers, as well as simulation exercises and emergency drills to help communities prepare for earthquakes, floods, and landslides. GTA also carried out awareness campaigns focused on climate change impacts, disaster risk reduction (DRR), and resilient infrastructure planning. In terms of emergency response, GTA provided food, clean water, hygiene kits, shelter materials, and medical support to disaster-affected populations across multiple districts. During Nepal’s second wave of COVID-19, GTA responded to the compounded challenges of the pandemic and monsoon-induced floods and landslides. With support from Give2Asia, relief efforts extended to Melamchi and Helambu municipalities in Sindhupalchowk, where GTA delivered emergency food packages, clean drinking water, hygiene and sanitation kits, and temporary shelters to affected families.

Outcome: GTA supported disaster preparedness efforts in 8 municipalities, trained hundreds of students, teachers, and community volunteers, and directly assisted over 2,000 households and schools through relief distributions. Give2Asia also facilitated connections with donors, enabling GTA to expand its relief and rescue operations to reach more disaster-affected families and communities.
