NEPAL FLASH FLOOD
2026
10,000 families are in need of emergency shelter support
Together, we build
a resilient future for Nepal.
Habitat for humanity nepal - since 1997
One in every two family in Nepal lives in inadequate housing.
Leaky roofs, mud floors, lack of toilets or safe drinking water, cramped living conditions, poor ventilation, freezing in the winter, and unbearably hot in the summers, poorly built structures that collapse when the earth moves or the river floods. These are some of the daily realities faced by millions of families across Nepal.
Add high seismic activity, increasing risks of climate-induced disasters alongside haphazard rapid urbanization, effectively compounding the risks faced by families living in inadequate shelter. As per the Government of Nepal’s estimates, over a million homes will need to be built in over the next decade. The enormity of the challenge requires a systemic lens and cross-sectoral collaboration; the challenge is too big for one entity, one sector, one actor to address alone.
By 2028, we aim to impact 2.75 million Nepalis lives through our integrated programs on building better homes, transforming market systems for affordable housing and housing finance, and inspiring action for housing.

How we make a difference
Resilient communities
start with a home.
At Habitat Nepal, our efforts focus on scaling contextualized solutions that address the key barriers to adequate housing – uneven land distribution, insecure tenure, lack of affordable housing finance, housing products and services, and regulatory and policy barriers that lock affordable housing out of reach for millions who live in poverty. We partner with families, governments, private sector, academia, peer organizations, volunteer networks and a range of stakeholders to promote community-led transformation, policy reforms through advocacy, and evidence-backed, scalable impact across the country.
Build better, build more
We build climate-resilient homes and communities in partnership with families and governments.
Transform Housing Markets
We build affordability by working with market actors to advance green construction technologies like treated bamboo. We work with financial institutions to advance affordable housing loans and insurance.
Inspire
We build action for housing by working with youth and volunteers for climate resilient future for Nepal.
By 2028, we aim to impact 2.75 million Nepalis lives through our integrated programs on building better homes, transforming market systems for affordable housing and housing finance, and inspiring action for housing.
