In the wake of COVID-19 second wave crisis in Nepal, Global Shapers Kathmandu Hub Mental health team organized a fundraiser called WellnessWeekends4Relief. The hub used social media platforms to ask for donations in exchange for wellness activities and classes hosted over three weekends. These classes varied from yoga, workout sessions to cooking and painting. The funds received have been diverted to organizations working tirelessly to address the crisis.

Launch date: 15 May, 2021

End date : 15 June, 2021

We have been able to fundraise NPR 50,000 through this initiative, which has been used to distribute food packages to low income families during the lockdown in Kathmandu and distribute relief items to families affected by the pandemic as well as the floods in Melamchi.
