From earthquakes to landslides, Nanda Budha reflects on leading humanitarian responses and standing with communities in crisis.

Having lived through the 2015 earthquake himself, Surendra Ratna Shakya has dedicated his career to supporting vulnerable children and families through crisis and recovery.

The new borehole at Manguar Primary School was made possible through the Enhancing Community Resilience and Local Governance Project Phase II (ECRP II), a government-led initiative funded by the World Bank and implemented by the Ministry of Finance and Planning and the Local Government Board, in partnership with World Vision.

World Vision assessed the situation and rehabilitated the borehole through the funding of the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO) Project as they saw the urgent needs of the community. The new borehole was built above ground level so it would be protected from contamination and accessible at all times of the year, as the Mangar-Tong area is affected by seasonal flooding.

Two in three Ukrainian children miss school because of shelling or fighting, according to a needs assessment by World Vision.
