Nepalis Across Jackson Heights Rally to Raise Funds for Flood-Stricken Nepal
In August 2026, flash floods and landslides along the Nepal-Tibet border left widespread destruction across mountain communities — damaging homes, roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure. In response, Nepalis in New York City rallied to collect donations and send aid to Nepal’s disaster relief fund.
Feet in 2 Worlds reached out to our friends at Khasokhas and NepYork — two journalism outlets serving the Nepali diaspora in the U.S. — to ask for a photo essay documenting these community efforts.

Our work brings positive and meaningful change to America’s newsrooms and has a broader impact on how immigration is reported, how journalism is taught at colleges and universities, and the ethnic and racial composition of news organizations.
The Feet in 2 Worlds network includes hundreds of journalists across the U.S. and around the world who have participated in our programs. Collectively, these journalists reach millions of readers and listeners with stories from immigrant communities.
