Nepal earthquake: Our story

Nepal

CHINA

INDIA

In April 2015, a powerful 7.8

earthquake hit Nepal.

Over 9,000 people were killed as poorly-built

buildings collapsed.

800,000 homes were damaged or

destroyed.

That includes an estimated 80-90%

in Nuwakot District, where we work.

Where we work

INDIA

Many families moved into tents,

where they remain.

But we thank God that the 11 Fuller

Center homes were spared!

(The completed home photos are from after the quake.)

Pristine condition, without even

cracks.

The local churches became the hands

and feet of Christ by providing low-cost,

emergency shelters.

But now they need permanent homes.

Our calling is to teach others how to

build better, through building.

We’ll re-use the good materials from temporary shelters

and their old homes.

Our goal is to build 200 more safe, healthy homes.

But we need help…

Volunteer!

Or

Donate!

$3,000 builds a home in the rural

areas
