FeG Katastrophenhilfe, the disaster relief fund of Germany's Free Evangelical Congregations, has increased its emergency aid for Nepal by a further €15,000, bringing total assistance after the country's devastating flash floods to €30,000. The funds go to FeG partner Habitat for Humanity, which is distributing emergency shelter kits, and to humedica, another established partner already active on the ground.
"Disaster relief is only fast and effective when reliable partners are already in place, know the people and structures, and can coordinate aid," the fund said in announcing the increase, adding that Habitat for Humanity and humedica are helping families find shelter now and rebuild homes and livelihoods afterward.
