SCAW Blog: Nepal, 2026: May 8
Today’s distribution by Team Nepal took place near the village of Burtibang. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, this region is a beautiful place to visit, and it could be easy for a visitor to overlook the poverty of most of the Nepali citizens in this area. Despite the economic circumstances of these Nepali children, they are extremely friendly and seem very happy with their day- to-day lives. We distributed 1,100 bedkits today despite all the challenges of the terrain and the weather.
En route to the distribution site we discovered we were unable to drive directly there, as the hillside road was washed out from a thunderstorm the day before. The team had to trek up a steep set of stairs to get to the first distribution site. This road washout also made it difficult for the bedkits to be delivered to the school.
During these breaks while we waited on more kits, the team was treated to several lively traditional dances by children who were in full costume.
It was a rewarding experience for the team watching the kids slowly make their way up the hillsides with their mattresses and bedkits at the end of the day.
