IRO Sushi Donates NPR 2.5 Million (£12,200) for Flood Relief in Nepal
London — IRO Sushi, the UK-based sushi franchise founded by Nepali entrepreneur Chhong Sherpa, has donated NPR 2.5 million (approximately £12,200) to support flood victims in Nepal.
The company said the relief contribution was deposited on Saturday into the Government of Nepal’s Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund.
The donation was made through contributions from all IRO Sushi franchise stores, with the company adding further funds to the total amount.
Having provided financial assistance for immediate relief, the company also plans to participate in the future rehabilitation and recovery phase and provide further support.
“Our country is facing a major crisis, and many Nepalis have been affected. At a time like this, it is our duty to contribute whatever we can from wherever we are,” said company founder Chhong Sherpa. “We hope and believe that our support will reach those genuinely affected as quickly as possible.”
Sherpa believes that, following a disaster, it is important to think not only about immediate relief but also about long-term solutions.
“Rather than only collecting relief after a disaster has already occurred, if we can mobilise resources and invest in preventive measures, the scale of future damage could be reduced,” he suggested.
Sherpa founded IRO Sushi in the UK in 2014. The business has since expanded to more than three dozen stores.
In October 2026, the company opened its first franchise store outside England, in Glasgow, Scotland.
IRO Sushi aims to operate 100 stores across the UK by 2030.
