Many mountain communities cannot afford to send their children to school, to feed those who cannot work, or to transport loved-ones to distant medical clinics. Karma Project makes this possible.

Karma Project is Responding to the August 26th Flood Disaster in Nepal:

A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated.  We have lost many friends in this disaster, and we are doing all we can to help survivors and their families.

On August 26, 2026 a massive rock and ice avalanche on the north face of Langtang Lirung in Langtang National Park, Nepal fell 4,000ft to the valley below.  The avalanche debris briefly dammed the river at the base of the north face of the mountain.  A lake rapidly formed behind the natural dam, built-up pressure, and then broke through- releasing millions of gallons of water mixed with rock, ice, and soil into the watershed within minutes.  The result was a massive wave of water and debris that reached heights over 100ft high as it passed through steep canyons at more than 120 miles per hour.  The surge entered the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli Rivers.  Communities and hydropower stations along the rivers were swept away in seconds, burying victims and infrastructure in a slurry of mud dozens of feet deep.  

As of September 1st, 2026, more than 4,000 people remain missing, at least 1,000 have died, and more than 65,000 people have lost loved ones, homes, or property.  A humanitarian crisis is unfolding.

Karma Project is raising funds to help survivors navigate the days, weeks, and months following this disaster.  Funds are provided directly to families who have been impacted, and are used to purchase food, bedding, clothing, sanitation supplies, safe drinking water, and temporary shelter in zones outside those prone to additional flooding. 

A contribution of any size is greatly appreciated.  We have lost many friends in this disaster.   We will do all we can to provide comfort, safety, and stability for those who have been impacted.
