First-aid
Ongoing Needs
Already deeply involved in a Cō-Impact Sourcing™
initiative in Nepal, dōTERRA immediately began
contacting partners there to see what could be
done. On April 28, the founders announced that
dōTERRA would match all contributions to the
dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation™ up to
$500,000 through the month of May. Meanwhile, to
help with immediate needs, the dōTERRA Healing
Hands Foundation released $100,000 on May 1.
These initial funds, along with additional funds
from our partners on the ground, enabled
thousands to receive much needed supplies.
Packets with tarps, tents, blankets, and food soon
arrived in some of the worst hit areas.
Recognizing their need to keep education going, the
Nepalese people most wanted help to rebuild schools
that had been flattened in the quake. The people want
to look forward to a brighter future, and emphasized the
importance of having a school even before housing. To
answer that need, temporary classrooms are held in large
tents donated by the Healing Hands Foundation which
have the added benefit of sheltering families at night.
The response to the request for donations showed
the overwhelming concern of people throughout the
dōTERRA community. More than $317,000 was
donated, making it possible for dōTERRA to present
a combined donation of almost $636,000. These
funds will be distributed through our partners such as
CHOICE Humanitarian and others to fund targeted
efforts to help the Nepalese people rebuild, especially
in the districts of Lamjung and Dolakha.

Even as the country gets back on its feet, Nepal
still faces challenging times. So far, rebuilding is
progressing and the citizens are reestablishing a
sense of normalcy while many are living in temporary
conditions. The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation
provided funding for 200 temporary homes. As
schools and more earthquake-safe housing are
erected, hope is returning and healing has begun.
