Informative photos are starting to arrive from our colleagues in Nepal, showing the devastating effects the recent flood has had on homes, belongings, crops, and lives. A think coating of mud fills every crevice where the water has receded and has contaminated drinking water.
The inside of a typical Nepalese home swathed in bacteria-laden mud.
Paradoxically, water, the very thing that caused this destruction, is now desperately needed. People are already experiencing dangerous diarrhea cause by ingesting unclean water. HealthEd Connect volunteers will be holding a 'health camp' to teach her community how to sanitize filthy water, as well as how to make a homemade treatment for diarrhea using salt and sugar.
Disheartened villagers sit on the roof of their former home, trying to figure out what to do next.
