A TEAM of county Christians have helped provide aid to almost 300,000 people in Nepal after they were hit by a devastating earthquake three months ago.

Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD) have been supporting the thousands of people who lost their homes and were left without food or other provisions.

Thanks to £10,000 of donations to CAFOD’s Nepal appeal from Worcestershire, emergency shelter materials, water, hygiene kits, soap, washing detergent, toothbrushes and toothpaste have all reached thousands of those most affected.

Manager for Worcestershire CAFOD, Abigail McMillan, said: “We are hugely grateful to everyone who has donated, including schools, church groups, people who organised fundraising events, and individuals who were moved by the plight of the people of Nepal. Everyone who has raised funds for our appeal can be sure that their efforts will make a huge difference."
