Emergency Relief
Emergency Relief focuses on immediate, life-saving assistance provided during or immediately after disasters common to Nepal, such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, fires, pandemics, and other sudden emergencies. DKI responds rapidly to urgent needs including food, safe drinking water, temporary shelter materials, essential non-food items, and emergency support for individuals and families affected by crisis situations.
In addition to supporting communities within Nepal, DKI also extends emergency relief and humanitarian assistance to migrant Nepali workers and their families during times of crisis. This includes support during health emergencies, workplace accidents, sudden displacement, or large-scale disruptions affecting Nepali workers abroad. Our priority is speed, safety, and reaching the most affected — whether at home or overseas — during the critical early phase of an emergency, in coordination with local institutions and community networks.

Humanitarian Support
Humanitarian Support focuses on addressing essential human needs that continue after the immediate emergency phase, particularly in disaster-affected communities across Nepal. DKI provides need-based assistance aimed at protecting dignity, safety, and basic living conditions for individuals and families facing ongoing hardship following disasters such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, health crises, or displacement.
DKI also extends humanitarian support to migrant Nepali workers and their families who face vulnerability due to crises such as illness, workplace incidents, sudden loss of income, or humanitarian emergencies abroad. This support is provided in coordination with community networks and relevant institutions, with a focus on fairness, neutrality, and responsibility. Our humanitarian approach prioritizes people over processes and ensures assistance complements existing efforts without duplication.
Health Emergency Response
Health Emergency Response focuses on supporting communities and health systems during public health emergencies such as pandemics, disease outbreaks, and other health-related crises in Nepal. Drawing from hands-on experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, DKI contributes to emergency health efforts by supporting access to essential medical supplies, protective equipment, public health awareness, and community-level coordination during critical periods.
DKI also extends health emergency support to migrant Nepali workers and their families, particularly during outbreaks, medical emergencies, or situations where access to timely care becomes difficult. Working in coordination with health institutions, community networks, and responsible partners, our response prioritizes public safety, accurate information, and the protection of vulnerable populations while ensuring ethical, transparent, and people-centered action.
Post Disaster Support
Post-Disaster Support focuses on assisting individuals, families, and communities in the period following the immediate emergency phase of a disaster. In Nepal, where floods, landslides, earthquakes, fires, and health crises often have long-lasting impacts, DKI provides short-term support aimed at stabilizing lives, restoring access to basic services, and helping affected households transition from emergency relief toward recovery.
DKI also extends post-disaster support to migrant Nepali workers and their families affected by crises such as prolonged illness, injury, sudden loss of employment, or displacement. Through coordination with local institutions, community networks, and responsible partners, our support emphasizes dignity, safety, and continuity of basic needs, ensuring that assistance complements existing recovery efforts without creating dependency.
