Nepal Flood Fund

EN CN
Statement of account As at 18 Sep 2026 Administered by Lik Wong, Singapore

On the morning of 26 Aug a glacier collapsed above the Nepal–Tibet border, and the flood that followed took the crossing at Rasuwagadhi. Friends of mine in Kathmandu lost trekking crew, family and colleagues that day.

You sent money. This page shows exactly where it is. It is updated as soon as I can when money moves.

This fund is closed to new donations. Cash collection closed on Friday 11 September 2026. Please do not send money to this fund.

To give to Nepal, use the Government of Nepal’s own fund: Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund — pmdrf.nchl.com.np. It takes international cards, and it is the official state channel, operated for the government by Nepal Clearing House Limited.

This page stays up. I will keep updating it until every rupee already raised is accounted for.

Every cent is accounted for: S$53,398.40 came in as gifts, S$44,960.99 has left the account and S$8,437.66 is still held. Nothing has been deducted for costs or expenses in Singapore. I take nothing, X-Boundaries takes nothing, no fee of any kind is charged here, and the bank’s own transfer charges are set out in full below. In Nepal, one payment has been made — NPR 100,000 to Rajendra, the man doing the caring on the ground. It is shown in full, below.

How these figures are dated. Donations are counted from the bank statement, not in real time — I can't refresh this page every minute. The Singapore figures above come from the statement downloaded on 18 Sep 2026, 09:52 Singapore time, and have not moved since: the fund closed to donations on 11 Sep. The rupee figures below run to 18 Sep 2026 and do move, as cheques are written in Kathmandu.

Paid out on 30 Aug to Rajendra Man Dangol in Kathmandu, at Prime Commercial Bank, reference “Nepal aid – LIK WONG”, Wise transfer #2339473771. Rajendra runs a trekking company in Kathmandu, has known this community for decades, and is distributing the money on the ground.

What it bought

Rajendra spent the first of it at the vegetable market in Kathmandu, on food for the flood victims’ shelter in Nuwakot. Both bills are made out to the shelter, not to him. They are dated Monday 31 Aug because both were settled by cheque, and cheques can only be banked on a working day.

The camp was started by Gautam Man Singh. He set it up himself, and it is where these vegetables went. A CNA journalist was later put in touch with him and filmed there — the report is here.

Effective rate on the S$5,000 sent1 SGD = 119.7102 NPR

Sent ahead on 30 Aug through someone I trust, who found the cheapest onward route, and paid into Rajendra Man Dangol’s account at Prime Commercial Bank the same evening at 18:24, transaction 712830663. Both remittances are now with him. Measured the same way — rupees received for every Singapore dollar sent — this route did better than the first: NPR 7,562 more for the identical S$5,000. That is why the two rates are set out in full rather than summarised.

A family in Betrawati

Bishnu Kumari Dangol is waiting for a kidney transplant at Kathmandu Medical College in Sinamangal. Her family had saved NPR 2,500,000 towards it. The flood took the money, along with almost everything else they owned.

The hospital is doing the transplant free of charge. What that does not cover is the year afterwards — the anti-rejection drugs, the follow-up, the months when nobody in the household can earn. The operation was set for 1 Sep; she is running a high fever, so it has been put back to 11 Sep.

On 31 Aug Rajendra handed her family a cheque for NPR 300,000, drawn out of the money you sent.

Published with the family’s permission.

Three more families

On 2 Sep Rajendra sent word of three households from Betrawati.

The first is Suresh Dangol’s. Since 28 Aug he has been living at a relative’s house in Vanasthali, Kathmandu, with his wife, his son, his daughter-in-law and his granddaughter — six people, the youngest two months old. Their house in Betrawati is destroyed. They cannot go back.

The second is Sabitri Lawat’s. Her husband was taken by the flood. She is staying with her daughter and son-in-law, and a baby two weeks old. Five people.

The third is the family of Ranjan Dangol, Rajendra’s nephew, who was lost to the flood. His body has still not been recovered. His wife, Indira Shrestha, is at her mother’s house in Dhikure, below Nuwakot, with her mother and her children — five people — waiting for him to be found so that the funeral rites can be performed.

Rajendra asked whether the fund could give each family NPR 30,000. I raised it to NPR 80,000 each — NPR 240,000 in all. It came out of the money already sitting in his account in Kathmandu, so nothing further had to leave Singapore for it. Two cheques were handed over on 2 Sep. The third, to Indira, is dated 3 Sep and was carried up to Dhikure to her.

Sabitri began her husband’s funeral rites today at Pashupati. When a body is never recovered, Nepali Hindus perform the rites over kushDesmostachya bipinnata, darbha grass — laid in place of the body. Across Nepal this week, families who have given up waiting are doing the same.

A note. Mr Suresh came on the call this morning to thank everyone, in Nepali. The distance made no difference at all — neither of us could keep the conversation going before getting emo. We had to end the call abruptly. My parting message was “Hope you find enough strength and continue to help people.”

Published with the families’ permission.

Four more from Betrawati

Four more households came forward after the funerals. All are from Betrawati, and each was funded NPR 75,000 by cheque out of the money already sitting in Rajendra’s account in Kathmandu — two on 8 Sep, two on 9 Sep. Three of them lost almost everyone. The fourth lost the house.

Birendra Dangol

Birendra lost his wife, his daughter, his son and his mother. He and one son came through it. They finished the funeral rites yesterday and are staying with relatives in Kathmandu. Two people left.

Rajendra Kumar Dangol

Rajendra Kumar lost his wife, his son, his daughter and his mother. He finished the funeral rites yesterday and is staying with relatives in Kathmandu. He is the only one left.

Astalal Lawat

Astalal lost his wife. He has not been well since. His son and his daughter are studying in Kathmandu; he finished the funeral rites and has gone to stay with them. Funded on 9 Sep.

Madan Lal and Geeta Lawat

No one in this household was lost. The flood took the house instead — swept away completely, leaving the family with nowhere to go back to. Funded on 9 Sep.

Two men named Rajendra Dangol appear on this page, and they are not the same person. Rajendra Kumar Dangol is one of the bereaved men above, from Betrawati. Rajendra Man Dangol is the trekking-company owner in Kathmandu who receives the remittances and writes the cheques — including this one. They share a common Newar surname and nothing else.

Published with the four families’ permission. Sabitri Lawat, Astalal Lawat, and Madan Lal and Geeta Lawat are three separate households. Lawat is a common surname in Betrawati; they are not one family, and each household was funded once.

Ritu Dangol, Timere

Ritu came through the flood. Her mother did not — she was in hospital when it came down.

Her leg is badly hurt and still under treatment. She is moving in with relatives in Kathmandu for now: the city costs more than the village, but it is where the follow-up care is. Her sister-in-law rents there for around NPR 20,000 a month, and Ritu is expected to pay a share of it.

NPR 75,000 by cheque on 12 September, out of the money already in Rajendra’s account.

A video taken during the flood at Timere, posted by Buddhaa Shrestha, is circulating on Facebook. Rajendra says Ritu can be seen in it. Watch it here.

Published with Ritu’s permission.

The last four Betrawati households

These four were approved on 10 and 11 September and have appeared on this page since as funded but unnamed. They were paid on 17 September, by cheque, out of the money already with Rajendra.

Sashi DangolCheque, 17 Sep NPR 75,000
Rajak DangolCheque, 17 Sep NPR 75,000
Ishwar DangolCheque, 17 Sep NPR 75,000
Tara TamangCheque, 17 Sep — part of her NPR 75,000 NPR 50,000
Paid on 17 September NPR 275,000

Tara Tamang has had NPR 50,000 of her NPR 75,000, not all of it. Rajendra did not have the balance in his account on the day. He has undertaken to hand her the remaining NPR 25,000 in cash, and his account is down to NPR 24,991 — so the fund is NPR 9 short and he is covering the difference himself. This page will say so until she has the full amount.

Photographs of all four handovers are held with the fund records and are not published. Every family pictured on this page agreed to it first; these four will be shown the same way, if and when they agree.

Spellings are as they appear on Rajendra’s own account sheet.

Remittance three — delivered

Sent from SingaporeS$1,000.00
Received in NepalNPR 120,000
Effective rate on the S$1,000 sent1 SGD = 120.0000 NPR

Sent on 3 Sep to a friend who moved it on to Gopal Nepali in Kathmandu the same day. Gopal Nepali is the second pair of hands on the ground. He rides for Pathao, he knows the city, and his job is to find the households that need money now and are not on anybody’s list. Measured the same way as the other two — rupees received for every Singapore dollar sent — this was the best route so far.

Santosh

Gopal Nepali put Santosh’s family forward. Before any money moved, Jeff — who spent six months in Langtang and has known this community for years — went and checked. He wrote back: “Yeah, I talked to Santosh’s family last night. Yes, they are in need, thank you so much!”

NPR 80,000 then went to the family. NPR 60,000 of it came from this fund, out of the NPR 120,000 Gopal Nepali was holding. The other NPR 20,000 was Jeff’s own money — he put it in himself. Only the NPR 60,000 appears in the books below; the rest was never mine to account for.

That is the whole check, and I would rather describe it plainly than dress it up: one person on the ground names a family, a second person who knows them confirms the need, and only then does the money move. It is not an audit. It is two people with nothing to gain, and it is what a fund this size can honestly do.

A monastery sheltering the displaced

On 7 Sep Rajendra wrote a cheque for NPR 100,000 to Gopal Nepali, to be handed on to a monastery that has been sheltering and feeding people who lost their homes in the flood.

This is a transfer between two pairs of hands, not a payment. The money moves out of Rajendra’s balance and into Gopal Nepali’s in the rupee books below, and the total still unspent does not change, because nobody has spent it yet.

The monastery is not named here yet. There are two in question and I am waiting on Gopal Nepali to confirm which one receives it. It will be named on this page, with the amount and the date, as soon as he does.

The cheque and a photograph of Gopal Nepali holding it are held with the fund records and are not published.

Remittance four — delivered

Sent from SingaporeS$10,000.00
Received in NepalNPR 1,190,510
Effective rate on the S$10,000 sent1 SGD = 119.0510 NPR

Sent on 4 Sep by the same route as remittance three, and paid into Rajendra Man Dangol’s account at Prime Commercial Bank the same day in two transactions — NPR 1,000,000 and NPR 190,510. PayNow debit reference 9725549. This is the largest single remittance so far, and all of it is spoken for.

Remittance five — delivered

Sent from SingaporeS$17,000.00
Received in NepalNPR 2,080,000
Effective rate on the S$17,000 sent1 SGD = 122.3529 NPR

Sent on 4 Sep by the same route as the last two, and paid into the account Richa Treks nominated at Everest Bank in four transactions — NPR 150,000 and NPR 150,000 late on 5 Sep, then NPR 1,000,000 and NPR 780,000 on the morning of 6 Sep. PayNow debit reference 5622955. Each transfer carried a NPR 8 bank charge, paid by the sender, so the full NPR 2,080,000 reached the account. Seventeen of the eighteen crew families were funded out of it on the evening of 7 Sep; the eighteenth is set out below.

That works out at 122.3529 rupees for every Singapore dollar, against 118.20, 119.71, 120.00 and 119.05 on the four before it — but it is not a rate the fund found. The friend who moved the money rounded the sum up, out of his own pocket. Roughly NPR 52,000 of what reached those families was his.

Remittance six — delivered

Sent from SingaporeS$1,099.59
Received in NepalNPR 132,500
Effective rate on the S$1,099.59 sent1 SGD = 120.4995 NPR

Sent on 11 Sep by the same route as the last three, and passed on to Rajendra Man Dangol in Kathmandu. This is the last remittance funded from money raised before the fund closed, and it is spoken for in full: NPR 75,000 each for two more Betrawati households, topped up with the NPR 17,491 already sitting in his account. Both were paid on 17 Sep — set out below.

Remittance seven — delivered

Sent from SingaporeS$5,861.40
Received in NepalNPR 706,500
Effective rate on the S$5,861.40 sent1 SGD = 120.5343 NPR

Sent in two parts by the same route as the last four — S$5,157.00 on 15 Sep and S$704.40 on 16 Sep — because the price was still being negotiated when the first part went out. On 17 Sep the friend in Singapore paid the whole NPR 706,500 straight into the supplier’s account in Kathmandu, and absorbed the NPR 8 bank charge himself. This one never passed through any of the three pairs of hands: it went from Singapore to the supplier, so it does not appear in anyone’s balance below.

This is the first money to leave Singapore since the fund closed on 11 Sep. It comes out of the S$14,299.06 that was being held, which is why the amount held has dropped.

180 induction cookers for Thulo Syabru

The relief camp at Thulo Syabru is cooking for people who lost their homes. Firewood up there is scarce, slow and dangerous indoors. Induction plates are the practical answer where there is power.

Gopal Nepali got a quotation on 16 Sep. The list price was NPR 5,190 a unit. It came down to NPR 3,925 — a 24% cut, VAT included — which is why the Singapore money went out in two parts over two evenings rather than one. At the list price the same money would have bought 136 cookers. It bought 180.

NPR 706,500 was paid in full on 17 Sep, direct to the supplier. Gopal Nepali has confirmed the supplier has the money.

The cookers are not there yet, and this page will not say they are. They have been paid for and not delivered. When they arrive, Gopal Nepali is to plug in and test all 180 in Kathmandu before a single one goes up the valley — a dead unit is easier to replace in the city than in Thulo Syabru. This page will be updated when the units are tested and again when they reach the camp.

The fund is not paying to move them. The first quotation to carry the cookers up to Thulo Syabru came back at NPR 90,000 — more than four times the NPR 20,000 that run would normally cost before fuel. Rather than pay a disaster premium, Lik put Gopal Nepali in touch with Rajendra, who knows the route and the operators, to push it towards NPR 60,000. The transport is being arranged and funded by Gopal Nepali and Jeff, not by this fund, so no transport cost appears in these books.

The supplier is not named here. The quotation and the payment confirmation are held with the fund records.

Trekking crews lost to the flood

Kathmandu trekking companies lost staff at Rasuwagadhi on 26 Aug. They were working when it came down — guides, cooks and porters, the people who carry the loads and cook the meals on the trail, and whose households live on what they earn in the season.

This is what the fund was started for. When the appeal went out on 29 Aug, the first call on the money was the families of the crew who did not come home.

Leaf Holidays Treks & Expedition — nine crew

None of the nine has been found.

Gokarna Thapa. Narayan Baniya. Hari Chandra Nepal. Rabin Tamang. Sangam Rimal. Tularam Thapa. Ganesh Nepali. Sushant Kulung. Geli Sherpa.

Six of them were from Dhading. The others came from Bhaktapur, Solukhumbu, Okhaldhunga and Gorkha.

NPR 1,071,000 was set aside for their families — NPR 119,000 each.

On 8 Sep that money was written out as one cheque and handed to Gopal Thapa of Leaf Holidays, who pays the nine families once it clears. The cheque has left Rajendra’s account, so it no longer appears in his balance in the rupee books below — but it is not yet in the families’ hands, and it is shown that way until each of them has been funded.

On 10 Sep Leaf Holidays wrote the money out again as nine separate cheques — one per family, NPR 119,000 each, consecutively numbered and all dated the same day, drawn on the company’s own bank in Thamel. They are waiting for the nine families to collect them. Gopal Thapa will send the bank’s debit confirmation as each is presented, and this page will be updated then — until it is, the money is still shown as not with the families.

Four of the nine families have now been paid. Some of the next of kin live in the villages and hold no bank account, so the cheque written in their name cannot be banked — Leaf Holidays has been handing over cash instead. The nine cheques are a provision, not the delivery route for every family.

  • 11 Sep — Rabin Tamang’s family, at Nagarkot. Paid in cash.
  • 12 Sep — Ganesh Nepali’s family. Paid in cash to his widow. The photograph of this handover is not published: it shows their two young children.
  • 16 Sep — Narayan Baniya’s family. The cheque handed to his widow at home.
  • 17 Sep — Sangam Rimal’s family. Cash handed to his father at the family house, after the cheque route failed.

Four families down, five to go — NPR 476,000 delivered, NPR 595,000 still with the company.

The nine payees are the crew’s next of kin. Their names, the cheque numbers and the company’s account are held with the fund records and are published nowhere.

The company’s internal staff list carries each man’s date of birth and passport number. It is held with the fund records and is published nowhere.

Richa Treks — eighteen crew

Richa Treks lost eighteen. Twice Leaf’s number, from one company, in one morning.

Dorji Tamang. Gangaram Mandal. Tenzing Sherpa. Sagar Tamang. Buddha Tamang. Rinji Tamang. Dhan Bahadur Tamang. Chhiring Tamang. Bikash Shrestha. Gyaljen Sherpa. Devraj Sunuwar. Sangam Shrestha. Pasang Kaji Tamang. Rojit Tamang. Narayan Prasad Khanal. Pasang Tamang. Ang Ngima Dawa Sherpa. Aayush Adhikari.

S$17,000 left Singapore on 4 Sep for these families and arrived as NPR 2,080,000 — remittance five, set out in full above, including the roughly NPR 52,000 the sender added himself. Split eighteen ways that is NPR 115,555 per household.

On the evening of 7 Sep the families came to the office in Kathmandu and the cheques were handed over — seventeen of the eighteen households, NPR 115,555 each, NPR 1,964,435 in all. A lawyer engaged by the company sat with them throughout, and every household signed for what it received.

The eighteenth household has not been funded. Their bank details have not come through yet, so their NPR 115,555 stays in the Richa Treks account until they do.

Through Sangay, the families sent this back: “They have extended their heartfelt thanks and blessing to you.”

That “you” is not me. It is everyone who has given.

Photographs of the wider gathering were taken and are held with the fund records.

Helping the helper

Since 30 Aug Rajendra has been driving to Nuwakot and back, buying provisions at the market, queueing at the bank, writing cheques and sitting with families. He never asked for anything.

Nothing is deducted in Singapore. Not a cent. But the work in Nepal is not free — it burns fuel, it wears a vehicle, and it takes a man away from his own living, day after day. So the fund has paid Rajendra NPR 100,000: roughly S$833, and just under 2% of everything raised.

This is not an administration fee and it is not a salary. It is the fund holding up the person who is holding up everyone else. A relief effort that quietly runs on one man’s petrol and unpaid days isn’t free.

Where the rupees stand

The money is in three pairs of hands in Kathmandu, with one payment made straight to a supplier. All four sets of books are here.

Balance NPR 0

The NPR 24,991 still with Rajendra is fully committed: it is the NPR 25,000 balance still owed to Tara Tamang, which he is to hand over in cash. He is holding nine rupees less than that, so the fund is short by NPR 9 and he is covering it. Everything else approved for the Betrawati households has now been paid. The NPR 1,071,000 held back for the Leaf Holidays families left his account on 8 Sep, and NPR 100,000 went to Gopal Nepali on 7 Sep for a monastery. Of the NPR 160,000 now with Gopal Nepali, NPR 100,000 is spoken for and waiting only on the monastery being named. Of the NPR 115,565 still with Richa Treks, NPR 115,555 belongs to the eighteenth crew family and is waiting only on their bank details.

The NPR 1,071,000 is counted out of Rajendra’s balance because the cheque has left his account. It is with Leaf Holidays, written out as nine cheques but not yet collected by the families, and it stays described that way here until they have been funded.

The NPR 706,500 for the induction cookers is shown on its own because it never reached any of the three holders — it went from Singapore straight to the supplier. It is spent, not held: paid in full, with the goods not yet received or tested.

This is the rupee side of the account, inside Nepal — NPR 5,419,050 delivered in all, NPR 300,556 of it still unspent. It sits underneath the S$44,960.99 already sent from Singapore, and is separate from the S$8,437.66 still held there.

Why this page sits on the X-Boundaries site

This fund is personal. X-Boundaries is my company, but it is not collecting, holding or spending any of this money — every cent comes into my own account and goes out of it, exactly as set out above.

The page is here for a plain reason: it is the web space I have. I don’t run a personal site. Hosting it here costs nothing.

Where it is going

It began as three calls on the money. It is already wider than that, and it will widen again. Here is everything the fund has paid for, and what it will pay for next.

  • Families of the crew who did not come home. Twenty-seven trekking staff lost on 26 Aug — nine from Leaf Holidays, eighteen from Richa Treks — households that lost their entire income in one morning. NPR 1,964,435 to seventeen Richa Treks families on 7 Sep, with the eighteenth household’s NPR 115,555 still held for them; NPR 1,071,000 for the nine Leaf families handed to the company on 8 Sep at NPR 119,000 each, written out as nine individual cheques on 10 Sep and waiting to be collected.
  • Food for people sheltering with nothing. 22 in one family’s house, 68 students in the Nuwakot shelter. Ninety people who have to eat tomorrow, and the day after. NPR 100,000 went to Gopal Nepali on 7 Sep for a monastery doing the same work; it is waiting on the monastery being named.
  • Equipment a camp needs to keep going. NPR 706,500 on 17 Sep for 180 induction cookers for the relief camp at Thulo Syabru, bought at NPR 3,925 against a list price of NPR 5,190. Paid in full; the units are not yet received or tested, and the fund is not paying to transport them.
  • Medical catastrophe. The Betrawati family whose kidney-transplant savings the flood carried off — NPR 300,000, funded.
  • Households that lost the house, or lost the person who earned. NPR 80,000 each to three families from Betrawati, two of them now without a husband or a father; NPR 75,000 each to four more Betrawati households, three that lost almost everyone and one whose house the flood took, funded 8 and 9 Sep; NPR 75,000 on 12 Sep to Ritu Dangol in Timere, who came through the flood while her mother did not; and NPR 275,000 on 17 Sep to the last four — Sashi Dangol, Rajak Dangol and Ishwar Dangol at NPR 75,000 each, and NPR 50,000 of Tara Tamang’s NPR 75,000, with the balance to follow in cash.
  • Funeral rites when there is no body. Sabitri’s husband was never found. The rites still cost money, and they cannot wait.
  • The cases no list has reached. Found by a second pair of hands in Kathmandu and checked by someone who knows the family before a rupee moves — Santosh’s family, NPR 60,000 from this fund alongside NPR 20,000 of Jeff’s own.
  • Holding up the people doing the work. Fuel, a vehicle, and the working days of the man carrying cheques up the valley.

That list is not a policy and it was never planned. Each line on it is a need that arrived, was checked, and was met within a day or two. The scope widens because the need does.

This is the difference between giving to a big organisation and giving to someone like me. The Red Cross and the UN agencies give strategically: they think in districts and populations, and only they can pay for water systems, shelter for thousands, and rebuilding that runs for years. To be fair to everyone they must work to rules, and each person they help has to fit a category. A small private fund gives tactically: it thinks in households. One call, one transfer, money in Kathmandu the same evening, and no category required.

So there is no fixed list of what this money is for. The test is not which box a family fits. The test is whether the need is real, whether someone we trust has stood in the room and checked it, and whether it is written down here afterwards. Everything else follows from that.

Neither kind of giving replaces the other. They fix the system. We fill the gaps the system cannot see. Give to the big appeals for the district — and hold a fund like this one to its books, because that is all it has instead of an audit committee.

Finding your own gift. Donors are shown by one name and initials. Serial numbers are fixed — once a gift is listed, its number never changes. Ref is the last four digits of the reference as it reached my account — for a direct PayNow gift that will match your own record. It will not match if you sent by PayLah, by bank transfer, or through someone else: those arrived by another route and I moved them across by hand, so the reference is mine, not yours. Look for your name and amount instead, and if anything is wrong or missing, tell me and I will correct it.

Full names, contact numbers and anything else identifying are held privately and are published nowhere.

What happens next

The remaining S$8,437.66 will go out in a further remittance once it is clear where it is needed most. It may go to someone other than Rajendra; whoever receives it will be named here when it is sent, with the rate and the rupees received, set out exactly as above.

Cash donations closed on Friday 11 September 2026. This fund is no longer taking money. I will never post a bank account or PayNow number on this page or anywhere else, and if you see one attached to my name, it is not me.

If you still want to help Nepal, give to the Government of Nepal’s Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund at pmdrf.nchl.com.np — the official state channel, run for the government by Nepal Clearing House Limited, and it accepts international cards. Nothing from that fund passes through me, and nothing from it appears on this page.

The page stays up, and I will keep updating it until every rupee raised here is accounted for.
