Some children lost their footing before they ever got to run.

On August 26, a glacier collapse triggered flash floods that tore through Nepal's Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts. More than 32,000 children were affected. Over 1,300 people have died, and more than 5,000 remain missing. Nearly 540 children have been separated from their parents, and at least 19 schools have been damaged or destroyed, according to UNICEF. Numbers like these are hard to hold. But behind each one is a child who was mid-sentence in their own story, learning, playing, dreaming, before the ground shifted beneath them. For some, this is not the first time. Many of these same communities were still healing from the 2015 earthquakes when the floods hit again. A disaster can take a home in a day. It takes years to rebuild a future.
