TEEJ 2026
Candlelight Vigil & Community Solidarity
Due to the devastating floods in Nepal and the loss of many lives, we are coming together in a more meaningful way this year. Let us light a candle, remember those we have lost, and stand with the families and communities affected.

Teej is not only a time for celebration. It is also a time to share our happiness and sorrow, support one another, and stand together as a community.
This year we invite everyone to join us in remembering those who have lost their lives and showing compassion and solidarity with those affected by the floods in Nepal.
Ladies, gents, children and the entire community are welcome.
Free refreshments including tea, sel roti, achar and simple Nepali food and snacks will be provided by our volunteers.
In happiness and in sorrow, we stand together.

Nepal Flood Emergency Appeal
Together for Nepal
Nepal is facing one of its most devastating disasters in recent years.
At least 359 people have lost their lives. Hundreds remain unaccounted for. Thousands of people have been affected. Homes, roads, bridges and livelihoods have been swept away, leaving families desperately needing food, clean water, shelter, medicines and basic essentials.
Behind every number is a mother, father, child, friend or family waiting for news.
Who We Are
This appeal is organised by Nepal Scotland Association, a Scotland-based community organisation serving the Nepalese community since 2004, in association with the Himalayan Centre for Arts & Culture, Edinburgh.
We are part of the Nepalese community in Scotland. Nepal is our home, our heritage and where many of our families and friends live.
When Nepal is hurting, we cannot simply watch from thousands of miles away.
Where Will Your Money Go?
Our aim is simple: get help to the people who need it most.
Money raised will support verified flood-affected families and communities with:
- Food and clean drinking water
- Emergency shelter and blankets
- Medicines and hygiene essentials
- Support for families who have lost their homes and livelihoods
- Recovery and rebuilding where urgently required
Funds will be distributed through verified and trusted organisations or partners working with affected communities in Nepal, based on the needs identified on the ground.
Every Penny Accounted For
We know that when you donate, you are placing your trust in us.
We take that responsibility seriously.
We will provide updates showing how much has been raised, where the funds have been sent and how the money has been used.
Our commitment is to ensure the money raised through this appeal is dedicated to helping those affected by this disaster and that our community can see the difference its generosity has made.
Let Us Join Hands ❤️
This is bigger than any one organisation.
This is about Nepal. This is about humanity. This is about standing together.
Whether it is £5, £10, £50, £100 or simply sharing this appeal — every action matters.
From Scotland to Nepal, let us join hands and show those who have lost so much that they are not alone.
Together for Nepal. Together we can make a difference.
