Education
We aim to empower students with access to the knowledge and skills necessary for personal growth and development. Our educational initiatives include scholarships, grants, and resources to help disadvantaged students achieve their full potential. We also engage in fundraising for school programs to ensure schools have the supplies and infrastructure needed for effective learning.
Social Support
Our social support programs focus on addressing the needs of underprivileged individuals to foster inclusivity and equality. We collaborate with local organizations to implement social welfare projects, advocate for social issues, and promote a sense of community. A key part of our work is advocating for female education and empowerment, with a goal to build a more compassionate and equitable society. Through these efforts, we aim to create a supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Community Building
Our community-building programs are designed to foster unity, understanding, and collaboration among Nepali communities. We create networks among Nepali Americans, friends of Nepal, and local Nepali communities to strengthen connections and support growth. By facilitating cultural exchange programs and hosting events that bring people together, we aim to build bridges and promote mutual understanding. Our efforts also focus on helping communities in Nepal connect with one another to share resources and build resilience, ensuring a stronger and more unified community for the future.

Our mission is to promote and preserve Nepal's rich cultural heritage and traditions while empowering Nepali people to improve their lives and communities.
