inDrive hands over keys to new homes for flood, landslide survivors in Nepal

KATHMANDU: inDrive, the global mobility and urban services platform, has officially handed over the keys to new homes for families displaced by recent floods and landslides. This marks a significant step towards rebuilding lives in Nepal. 

The initiative, carried out in collaboration with National Centre for Disaster Management (NCDM), includes the construction of five sustainable shelters and the distribution of essential supplies to affected households.

The shelters were developed in close consultation with local communities to address the specific needs of disaster survivors. Constructed from bamboo and mud, the homes reflect a commitment to both sustainability and cultural relevance, offering families durable, environmentally conscious structures designed to withstand local conditions.

“At inDrive, our mission goes far beyond mobility – it’s about creating meaningful, lasting change,” said Pavit Nanda Anand, APAC Communication Lead at inDrive. “This partnership with NCDM embodies our values by providing more than just shelter; we are restoring a sense of stability, dignity and hope to families facing unimaginable loss. We’re proud to stand with these communities as they rebuild their futures, with freedom of choice and renewed confidence.”

Mark Tolley, Regional Director for APAC at inDrive, said, “inDrive’s core mission is to challenge social injustice, and this initiative is a direct expression of that purpose. We aim to positively impact the lives of one billion people by 2030 through sustainable, community-driven action. These homes are more than just structures – they are safe havens that empower families to begin again. By ensuring freedom of choice and collaboration throughout the process, this partnership with NCDM reflects our dedication to dignity, resilience and people-first solutions.”

inDrive operates in 888 cities across 48 countries. Driven by its mission of challenging social injustice, the company is committed to having a positive impact on the lives of 1 billion people by 2030.

Likewise, NCDM, established in February 2002 and registered under the Kathmandu District Administration Office and the Social Welfare Council, Nepal, aims to mitigate the impact of disasters in the country.
