Good Neighbors Provides Winter Clothing and Blankets to Flood Victims in Nepal

[Financial News] 414 sets of winter clothing and 588 blankets will be delivered to victims of the devastating floods in Nepal. Good Neighbors, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), is transporting these items via a military transport aircraft carrying the second contingent of the Republic of Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT).
According to Good Neighbors, a global NGO specializing in children's rights, on the 11th, the winter clothing was donated by Shinsung Tongsang, while the blankets were purchased with donations from citizens. The items will be delivered to the Nepalese government.
Good Neighbors launched $500,000 in emergency relief immediately after large-scale floods and landslides occurred in northern Nepal on the 26th of last month (local time). It is participating in relief coordination meetings organized by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and is working in the areas of child protection, drinking water, and sanitation.
Good Neighbors has distributed relief supplies to approximately 3,100 displaced households so far, providing food, daily necessities, hygiene products, tarpaulins, tents, and drinking water, mainly at temporary shelters, schools, and hospitals in the Nuwakot area.
The scope of relief has been expanded by adding winter clothing and blankets to the food, drinking water, and hygiene products previously provided. Good Neighbors plans to provide additional emergency relief supplies to 2,000 households.
It is also helping affected children return to their daily lives. Four child-friendly spaces were established at a temporary shelter in Bidur, Nuwakot, and psychosocial support programs have been provided to approximately 250 children so far. On the 10th, training was conducted to strengthen the psychosocial support capabilities of local teachers, psychotherapists, and volunteers.
Discussions are also underway on transporting 1,700 tarpaulins and six multipurpose tents stored at the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) to Nepal.
Jeon Miseon, Secretary General of Good Neighbors, said, "I hope that the relief supplies delivered through the cooperation of the Korean government, companies, and civic groups will provide warm comfort to the victims in Nepal."
