Earthquake Relief

The devastating earthquakes of 2015 displaced more than 2.8 million people in Nepal¹. The Shenpen team and the monks of Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling worked tirelessly to provided help to the victims in highly affected areas for months after the quakes.Now, the Shenpen team, shifting its focus from relief to rebuilding, has chosen to help the survivors of one Tamang community in particular who suffered the loss of their village; they cannot rebuild on the destroyed site.

Shenpen is in the process of constructing fifty-five houses on their new land in Dhola, Dhading district. You can help to rebuild their lives by sponsoring a part of a new home* or the construction of a full home!
