Disaster Relief

Over the past 20 years, we have provided immediate and long-term assistance following various natural disasters, such as earthquakes, landslides, and floods.

Earthquake

In 2006, a severe earthquake struck the Kashmir region. We provided financial emergency assistance for the construction of shelters for refugees from mountainous areas. Additionally, we made a donation to Malteser International for the reconstruction of a medical facility in the Palas Valley.

Following the powerful earthquake in Nepal in 2015, we donated a significant amount to the organisation “Friends of Nepal,” which was involved in emergency relief efforts in the most affected areas.

Fire

In 2007, a fire broke out in the village of Arandu in the Basho Valley, completely destorying 12 houses. We provided emergency assistance for the construction of shelters and supported those affected with generous aid.

Flood

In 2010, large parts of the country were affected by severe flooding. Baltistan also suffered significant damage from floods and mudslides. We provided emergency relief in the hardest-hit areas.

Landslide

In 2019, several houses in the village of Gulabpur in the Shigar Valley were severely damaged ba a mudslide, and fields were destroyed. We helped the affected families to rebuild their homes and financed the construction of a protective wall.

Himalaya-Karakorum e.V.

Der als gemeinnützig anerkannte Verein unterstützt Menschen, die unter schwierigen Bedingungen in den Bergen des Himalaya und Karakorum leben, am Rand der Siedlungsgrenze und immer auch am Rand der Existenzgrenze. Den Dorfbewohnern soll das Überleben in ihrer angestammten Heimat erleichtert werden, und zwar nach dem Prinzip der Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe. Vorrangiges Ziel ist es, dass unsere Hilfe in absehbarer Zeit nicht mehr nötig ist.
