Help Nepal! List of NGOs assisting earthquake assistance and relief

Bengaluru, May 2: Nepal's fate is in our hands and we have to strive to bring it back to its feet. Once a tourist destination, it has turned into rubbles now. Latest death tolls have risen to 6,624 and more is expected. Meanwhile, the Nepal government has said that it would not be able to pull out anymore survivors from the debris.

Children have been orphaned and there are scores who are homeless and starving. While innumerable private and government agencies have offered their hands in help, there are others who are willing to help, but cannot reach them.
