The Buddhist Organizations from Australia have arrived to Nepal to support the victims of earth quakes. The delegation has distributed money, clothes and medicines to the poor victims.
Funds raised for the Nepal Region Earthquake will provide humanitarian support to people and communities in Nepal and in regions affected by the Nepal earthquake, including:
- emergency relief and recovery assistance
- water and sanitation, shelter, health, protection, livelihoods, community safety and resilience initiatives
- sending specialist aid workers to assist in initial assessments, relief, recovery and longer-term disaster management operations
- supporting the local Nepal Red Cross to prepare for, scale up and deliver relief and recovery services.
We ensures that at least 95% of funds raised for an international appeal are spent directly on our emergency response programs. Our appeal and administration costs for international appeals vary depending upon the type and scale of activity, but are never more than 5% of any donation and only cover the directly associated costs in administering and promoting the appeal, such as the toll free inbound phone, postage for mailing receipts to donors, temporary staff if required, bank fees, audit and financial accountability.
Should funds raised exceed the amount required to meet the emergency relief and recovery needs of people in the affected areas, or if there are changes in circumstances beyond the control of our Organization, excess funds will be directed to building resilience and responding to crises in the region.
