On April 26, 2015, one day after the most devastating Earthquake to hit Nepal in 80 years, the Nepal Photo Project began.

The project was founded with the intention of documenting the area in and around Kathmandu following the disaster, and to provide critical information so others outside the region can find information about rescue and relief efforts.

Approximately 7,000 people were killed in the 7.8 quake. If you are in the area, you can contribute to the project by tagging your images with #nepalphotoproject.
