Jajarkot Is Rebuilding

A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Karnali Province in western Nepal at approximately 11:47 p.m. local time (UTC 6:02 p.m.) on November 3, 2023, followed by several aftershocks. The epicenter was in Ramidanda, Jajarkot District, about 65 kilometers northeast of Surkhet, the capital city of Karnali Province. This earthquake is the strongest to hit Nepal since the 7.3 magnitude earthquake in 2015 and is the latest in a series of tremors to affect western Nepal over the past year.

VCN Programmatic Approaches

Who We Are

Volunteer Corps Nepal (VCN) is a Non-Government, Humanitarian Aid Agency that provides emergencyrelief and sustainable solutions for population affected by naturaldisasters, epidemics and post-conflict situations. Since 2018, VCN has become synonymous with rapid response to humanitarian crises; with its medical teams, search and rescue units, water engineers and post trauma experts leading national responses. VCN provides the vital support needed to move from destruction to reconstruction and sustainable living, promoting volunteerism and making Humanity alive.

First to act, Last to Exit: Building Resilience Together:

This encapsulates Volunteer Corps Nepal's unwavering commitment to disaster-affected communities. Guided by this principle, VCN is always among the first to respond in times of crisis, bringing lifesaving support to those in need. Beyond immediate relief, the organization remains steadfast in its efforts, fostering long-term recovery and resilience. By mobilizing dedicated volunteers, collaborating with local stakeholders, and empowering communities, VCN ensures that no one is left behind. Together, we rebuild lives, restore hope, and strengthen communities, paving the way for a more resilient and sustainable future.

A Struggle of Survival

There is one constant in fragile settings: they don’t follow a pattern. Today, we will work to deliver life-saving aid to thousands of people living on the edge of survival. Tomorrow, when the crisis subsides, we will work alongside community members to restore job opportunities, build criticalinfrastructure, and developeducation programs. And the day after that we will be ready for the next chapter. In fragile settings, every day brings new opportunities and freshchallenges. VCN has the experience and agility to meet the ever-changing needsof populations in vulnerable situations. We partner with them to develop a strategy for the future and create more enduring pathways to stability.
