Asia

We support a diverse range of communities from Afghanistan to the Philippines, but climate change and natural disasters have a huge impact across Asia.

Here's how we're supporting countries across the continent with resilience-building and community-centred support.

Nepal was one of Asia’s most climate-vulnerable countries in 2025, with flash floods, landslides and droughts severely affecting food security, livelihoods and infrastructure.

In 2025, we focused on improving access to nutrition services, healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene and livelihoods support for Nepalese communities. Our livelihood initiatives helped households adapt to climate change through resilient agricultural practices.

We assisted 13,675 people in Nepal in 2025.
