UniSQ's Nepal and Himalayan Community Emergency Appeal

Supporting our Nepal and Himalayan community

Recent flooding and natural disasters have had a devastating impact on communities across Nepal and the Himalayan region. Many members of the UniSQ community have been directly affected, including students, staff, their families, and loved ones.

In response, UniSQ has established the Nepal and Himalayan Community Emergency Appeal to provide practical support to students and staff experiencing financial hardship as a result of this disaster. Through the generosity of our alumni, staff, partners, and wider community, we aim to provide timely assistance to those most affected.

At UniSQ, our strength lies in our community. Together, we can help our UniSQ students and staff navigate this difficult time.
