Keeping essential health services running.

Baireni Hospital in Galchhi Rural Municipality, Dhading District, was partially damaged by the recent floods and lost essential medical equipment, including its generator. The damage disrupted health services and the cold chain system needed to safely store vaccines and other temperature-sensitive supplies.

To help restore critical services, UNICEF supported the hospital with a 250 kVA generator, ensuring a reliable power supply for essential care and the cold chain.

Floods may cut off familiar routes, but vaccines have to keep moving.

Supporting the Government of Nepal-led oral cholera vaccination (OCV) campaign, UNICEF staff worked alongside government health teams to help move vaccines safely through flood-hit Rasuwa and Nuwakot — across damaged roads, fast-flowing rivers and difficult terrain — while keeping the doses cold and protected throughout the journey.

Together with partners, UNICEF has delivered 100,000+ OCV doses so far, with more on the way.

“When floods damage schools, children don't just lose classrooms. We miss lessons, fall behind in our studies, spend less time with our friends and teachers, and lose the routines that help us feel safe and supported,” says Jayanti Bam, UNICEF Nepal's Youth Advocate for Climate Action.

One month after the devastating floods in central and northern Nepal, more than 14,000 children across 62 schools and learning centres continue to face disruptions to their education.

UNICEF, working with the Government of Nepal and partners, has helped establish 48 temporary learning centres, enabling children to continue learning while providing essential educational supplies and psychosocial support.

“Education is a critical part of children's recovery after a disaster,” says Alice Akunga, UNICEF Representative to Nepal. “Returning to learning provides children with a sense of stability, routine and hope at a time when many have experienced significant loss and uncertainty.”

On 22 September 2026, the National Statistics Office (NSO), in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal, launched the first national report on the Child Multidimensional Deprivation Profile of Nepal 2026, providing a comprehensive picture of children’s deprivation across multiple dimensions.

The report uses the Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) methodology and data from the Nepal Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (NMICS) 2014, 2019 and 2024–25 to examine deprivations related to education, health, nutrition, water, sanitation, housing and information access.

The launch brought together government representatives and other stakeholders, who highlighted the value of the report for evidence-based planning and budgeting, particularly to address disparities and the needs of the most vulnerable children.

The Chief Guest, Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Urban Development, Hon. Milan Khadka Roka, emphasized the need for targeted investments in nutrition, poverty reduction and regional inequalities, while Chief Secretary Ms. Radhika Aryal encouraged government officials to use the findings during the planning and budgeting cycle. UNICEF's representatives, meanwhile, called for the findings to be translated into concrete policies and actions to improve the lives of the most deprived children.

A bucket of water. A bar of soap. A clean place to wash. 💧

After the floods, these essentials are not always within easy reach. Damage to water supply systems and WASH facilities has disrupted access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene for many families, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.

UNICEF is providing essential WASH supplies — including hygiene kits, buckets, collapsible jerrycans and water treatment supplies — to flood-affected families in Rasuwa and Nuwakot, helping them access safe water, practice good hygiene and reduce the risk of illness during recovery.

A warm welcome for a newborn with Nyano Jhola. 🩵

For a new mother, having the right essentials can make those early days of caring for her newborn a little easier — especially when a family is recovering from an emergency.

These photos show how in flood-affected Rasuwa, UNICEF Nepal is providing Nyano Jhola, newborn kits as part of postnatal care, with warm clothing and essential supplies to support mothers in caring for their babies.

Simple, practical support at an important time — helping mothers give their newborns the care they need from the very beginning.

“I wanted to go back many times to retrieve my books, but that wasn’t possible,” says Manisha, a Grade 8 student from Nuwakot.

After floods swept through her school area, Manisha and thousands of children across Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading have been unable to return to class.

UNICEF with suppor from EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid is working with the Government, local authorities and partners to set up temporary learning centres — helping children reconnect with friends, teachers and the routines that make school feel safe again.

भोलिका लागि आज

गाउँको ट्युबवेल सुक्दा सबै अचम्मित हुन्छन्—भूमिगत पानी घट्दै गइरहेको संकेत हो यो । अब भोलि पानी कहाँबाट आउला ? पानीको अभावले घर, खेतबारी र भविष्य सबैमा असर पार्न सक्छ ।

सुप्रभा म्यामको सल्लाह मानेपछि गाउँको मुहार फेरिएको मीनाले सुनाउँछिन् । गाउँ कसरी फेरियो ? मीनाको अनुभव जान्न यो भिडियो हेरौँ ।

सुरक्षित पिउने पानी, सरसफाइ र स्वच्छताबारे थप जानकारी नेपाल Internet of Good Things (IoGT) वेबसाइटमा उपलब्ध छ। एनसेल प्रयोगकर्ताले यो साइट निःशुल्क डेटा प्रयोग गरी हेर्न सक्नुहुन्छ।
