Chakraviu Nepal is already on the ground and working with the Government of Nepal
Your gift supports a response that is moving from assessment to action: Chakraviu Nepal has completed its field assessment in Rasuwa and is part of the government-led education coordination for the flood response.
Working within the government-led response
The Government of Nepal established sector-based coordination clusters for organizations responding to the Rasuwa disaster, so resources are coordinated and duplication is avoided. Chakraviu Nepal has been included in the education sector coordination, alongside organizations such as UNICEF, World Vision International Nepal, Plan International, Aasaman Nepal, People in Need and Handicap International. Chakraviu Nepal is coordinating its proposed educational recovery intervention through this framework.
The government has also asked responding organizations not to remove children from their communities. Support is delivered in coordination with local authorities and existing systems, which is how Chakraviu Nepal is approaching its work.
What the assessment found
- Emotional distress: many children are coping with bereavement, displacement and disrupted family life.
- Gaps in support: some families who could once afford private school have lost a parent or main earner, and these children may not qualify for existing government education support.
- Risk to local schools: families are considering moving children out of the district. Government representatives warned this could lead to some school closures over the next five to eight years without early action.
The response your donation supports
Chakraviu Nepal is developing a 24-month Educational Recovery and Holistic Support Programme for 250 flood-affected students, prioritizing children facing economic vulnerability, bereavement, disrupted education and a heightened risk of dropping out. It combines learning support and continued access to education with mentorship, regular follow-up and activities that nurture emotional, physical and social wellbeing.
“The immediate emergency response is essential, but the educational consequences of this disaster will continue long after the floodwaters have receded.”
The programme is still being developed. The 250-student, 24-month plan describes the proposed response, not completed results.
