Fredericksburg Kathmandu Sister City

Fredericksburg Kathmandu Sister City Civic-led initiative fosters cultural understanding, service, environmental efforts, and exchanges between Fredericksburg region and Kathmandu Valley.

The Fredericksburg-Kathmandu Sister City initiative grew out of the tremendous outpouring of good will of Virginians and Nepalis who joined together with Rise Nepal and other partners after the tragic 2015 Nepal earthquakes. A civic-led initiative, it includes current and future exchanges fostering cross cultural understanding and positive outcomes in community service and the environment, academi

c exchanges between the University of Mary Washington and Tribhuvan University in Nepal, arts and culture, business and tourism. The scope includes the broader Kathmandu Valley and Fredericksburg-Rappahannock region, and other Virginia-Nepal Exchange supporters.

Dear Members and Friends of the Kathmandu–Fredericksburg Sister City,

We are deeply saddened by the devastating flooding currently affecting communities in Nepal. The widespread flooding has caused significant loss, displacement, and hardship for many families, with some communities facing an urgent need for shelter, food, medical assistance, and other essential supplies.

At this difficult time, the Kathmandu–Fredericksburg Sister City stands in solidarity with all those affected. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost loved ones, their homes, and their livelihoods, as well as with all the individuals and communities working tirelessly to provide relief and assistance.

As a Sister City community, we encourage our members and friends to come together and support those in need. No contribution is too small. Every act of kindness—whether through a donation, sharing information, or helping in any way possible—can make a meaningful difference to families facing this crisis.

For those who would like to contribute to the relief efforts, support can be provided through the following website:

Thank you for standing with Nepal during this challenging time. Together, as a community, we can offer hope and help to those who need it most.

With deepest sympathy and solidarity,
