Charity Article 25 launches Nepal schools rebuild appeal

摘要

The architectural aid charity, Article 25, has launched an appeal to fund the rebuilding of schools in Nepal following Saturday's earthquake. The 7.8-magnitude quake, the country's deadliest in 81 years, has caused widespread devastation, including avalanches on Mount Everest. The death toll has now risen above 5,000 with a further 10,000 injured. Article 25 is looking to raise £50,000 within eight weeks to allow its staff to "be on the ground after the initial urgent need for food and water has subsided", so they can carry out rebuilding and earthquake resilience work with local partners.
