‘It’s fantastic to see what that reconstruction has done’: Andrew Judge

Andrew Judge was in Indonesia when the 7.8 magnitude quake hit Nepal exactly ten years ago. He was helping a coastal community affected by the 2010 Mentawai earthquake and tsunami off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. Fast forward to 2025, and the Human Rights lawyer is leading the Australian Himalayan Foundation and helping it navigate the rebuilding process in Nepal as its CEO. Judge spoke to SBS Nepali about the recent works of the Foundation, his ties with Nepal and why he keeps visiting the country.
