Imagine suddenly losing your sight – and having no eye doctor nearby to turn to.

That was Gepeso’s reality.

Living in a remote community in Papua New Guinea, Gepeso’s world became increasingly dark as cataracts stole her sight. Everyday things she had once done for herself became difficult, and she had to rely on others for help.

But you can help change that for someone like Gepeso.

Your gift can help provide life-changing cataract surgery and essential eye care to people with avoidable blindness in remote communities – helping restore not only sight, but independence, dignity, and hope.

And right now, your kindness can have 5 times the impact.

When disaster strikes, reaching help isn’t equally easy for everyone.

Imagine trying to reach safety when you rely on a wheelchair, crutches, a walker, or another assistive device.

A washed-out bridge may be difficult for some people to cross. For a person with a disability, it can become an impossible barrier to reaching food, shelter, or healthcare.

Following the devastating floods in Nepal, cbm is working with local disability organisations and humanitarian partners to understand where the greatest needs are and help ensure people with disabilities are included in the response and recovery effort from the very beginning.

Because every person matters, and no one should be left behind.

Your generous gift can help provide urgently needed support and help make the emergency response inclusive and accessible.

Devastating floods have changed lives in Nepal.

Flash floods have swept through communities in northern Nepal, destroying homes, roads, bridges, and health facilities. Families have lost loved ones, communities have been cut off, and many people remain missing.

Across affected areas, families urgently need shelter, food, clean water, hygiene supplies, and access to healthcare.

As the difficult journey of recovery begins, your compassion can help families facing uncertainty, loss and upheaval.

Please give today to help people affected by the Nepal floods, and help ensure people with disabilities are not left behind.

Thanks to kind-hearted supporters like you, Sarbendra is walking again. “I have now returned to school after getting my new prosthetic leg,” he says. “I like it because I can walk freely on it.”

Just imagine that transformation. From being isolated at home… to walking to school again. Learning. Laughing. And reclaiming his future.

PRAY WITH US FOR NEPAL
Our hearts are with the people of Nepal as devastating floods have swept through communities, taking lives, destroying homes and leaving families facing heartbreaking loss and uncertainty.

This photo was taken during severe flooding in Nepal in 2021, when Chepe who is deaf and her daughter Urmila who has cerebral palsy, were able to reach safety on higher ground. Their experience is a powerful reminder that when disaster strikes, people with disabilities can face even greater challenges in reaching safety and accessing the help they need.

Today, as families across Nepal once again face the devastating impact of flooding, please join us in prayer.

We pray for those who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods, and for everyone who is frightened or uncertain about what lies ahead. We pray especially for people with disabilities and others who may face additional barriers to reaching safety, shelter, and essential support.

May God comfort those who are grieving, protect those still at risk, and give strength and wisdom to everyone responding to this emergency. May those affected be surrounded by compassion, practical help, and hope in the difficult days ahead.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1

Lord, draw near to the people of Nepal. Bring comfort where there is grief, hope where there is despair, and help where it is needed most. Amen.
