BCF was in the forefront of providing relief to victims of the 2015 earthquake which devastated Nepal. The foundation leveraged its resources and network to reach out to disaster-hit people in different areas of the country.

- BCF also contributed NPR 5.1 million to the Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund.
