Save the Children is addressing the urgent needs of Nepal's Nuwakot district following its recent devastation. The organization is providing essential necessities such as food, water, diapers, and toothbrushes to affected communities. Amy Lefevre, a representative of Save the Children, has observed that the water sources in the region are severely contaminated, urging people not to consume or bathe in it.
Save the Children views their involvement as a long-term relief operation, with plans for the reconstruction of infrastructure. Lefevre emphasized that while the media coverage of the disaster will fade, the families left behind are the ones rebuilding their lives. The next phase for the organization involves discussions with local authorities about job creation and rebuilding livelihoods.
Among the organization's priorities is ensuring that children can resume their education. Psychosocial counselors have been deployed to child-friendly spaces within the temporary shelters to support the trauma-stricken children. Lefevre highlighted the difficulty in understanding how children will cope with the immense psychological impact of the disaster.
