Kathmandu, Nepal — September 2026: In a powerful demonstration of humanitarian solidarity, Indian actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood has arrived in Nepal and joined hands with Lions International, Multiple District 325 Nepal, and Khalsa Aid to support communities affected by the recent devastating floods.
Sood arrived in Kathmandu with his Sood Charity Foundation team carrying essential relief supplies and has since travelled to severely affected areas, including Nuwakot, to meet survivors and assess the needs of families impacted by the disaster.
The collaborative humanitarian effort is focused on ensuring that assistance reaches communities where it is needed most. Immediate relief includes food, blankets, clothing and essential health and hygiene supplies. Approximately 2,000 blankets, clothing, dry food and women’s health supplies have already been sent from India as part of the relief response.
Beyond immediate assistance, the partnership is looking toward long-term rehabilitation. Sood has proposed a “Resolve to Build a Home” initiative aimed at supporting families who have lost their homes and helping them rebuild their lives. The proposed long-term response will also explore support in areas including education, healthcare and housing.
The joint team of the Sood Charity Foundation, Lions International and Khalsa Aid is working on the ground to identify the actual needs of affected communities and develop appropriate support measures.
Speaking during his visit to Nepal, Sood emphasized the importance of being physically present with disaster-affected families, offering reassurance and standing alongside communities during their most difficult moments.
The partnership reflects the shared humanitarian commitment of organizations and individuals working beyond borders to serve communities in crisis. For Lions International MD 325 Nepal, the collaboration further strengthens its ongoing commitment to humanitarian service, disaster response and community rehabilitation.
As Nepal continues its recovery, the collective efforts of Lions, the Sood Charity Foundation, Khalsa Aid and other humanitarian partners aim to provide not only immediate relief, but also hope and a pathway toward rebuilding lives and communities.
Standing together. Serving together. Rebuilding together.
