Supporting families means listening to them, too. With @Caritas_Nepal, CRS is providing three meals a day to families in Nepal staying at a temporary site after the floods and creating a way for families to share feedback about the support they receive.

During a visit to flood-affected areas of Nuwakot today, Chargé d’Affaires, a.i. Megan Bouldin and a congressional staff delegation visited Catholic Relief Services and Caritas Nepal community centers and the World Food Programme coordination hub to see how U.S. assistance is providing food, shelter, and psychosocial support to affected communities.
The delegation also met with district police leadership to thank them for their efforts to find missing Americans and viewed a recently installed U.S.-made bridge helping reconnect Nuwakot and Rasuwa districts.
With more than $36 million committed, American support includes emergency relief, disaster-response equipment, and forensic expertise to help identify missing Americans and other victims.
After food vouchers in recent months, families uprooted by conflict in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, are now building sturdier shelters with materials and support from CRS and Caritas Pemba. Funded by the Mozambique Humanitarian Fund (MHF).
