The People of Nepal Need Our Help

Updated: 15 May 2015

On 25 April a powerful 7.8 earthquake devastated the country of Nepal. Two weeks after the initial quake, there are more reports of another major earthquake hitting near the town of Namche Bazar, near Mount Everest.

All our Chapter members have reported that they are safe.

These earthquakes already claimed the lives of more than 5 000 people, injured thousands more and left tens of thousands of people without homes and supplies.

The Internet Society has a Chapter in Nepal and has been working on Internet related projects in the region since 2007.

Right now, humanitarian and aid organizations need your help to help serve areas affected by the earthquake.

How do we restore trust and confidence in the Internet so that it can deliver on its full potential for communication, creativity, innovation and opportunity? In an era when the Edward Snowden revelations have made us aware of the pervasive surveillance that is possible, and when large-scale data breaches have exposed our most personal information, how do we feel safe when we go online? And as the next billion people look to the Internet for their future opportunities, how do we help address their fears and concerns? What are the roles we all have in bringing about an open, trusted Internet?  And what are the most pressing challenges in how we collectively govern the Internet?
