NGOs in Nepal

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: Oct, 2018

Description:

Throughout recorded history, Nepal has nestled between the giant cultural formations of India to the south and China/Tibet to the north. With the globalization of modern times, international interests and concerns draw Nepal into contact with more distant corners of the world. There are now a multitude of non-governmental organizations at work in Nepal, many headquartered in the Kathmandu Valley. Some are international NGOs and some are purely Nepali, some are long running and some are startups. All of the websites archived here are NGO self-presentations of their aspirations and their achievements on various fronts—humanitarian, environmental, economic, political, religious, and more.

Title: Nepal Matri Griha

URL: http://www.nepalmatrigriha.org/

Description: Organization founded in 2000 "So far as we know that Nepal Matri Griha (NMG) is an autonomous and politically non-partisan organization that works to promote the rights, welfare and development of children living on the margins of society. It works directly with the children and their families, helping them to break away from the effects of discrimination based on caste, disability, gender and social status. NMG was established in 2000 registered in District Administration Office (DAO) under NGOs Act 1974 and also affiliated with Social Welfare Council (SWC) and Municipality Office. Its foremost aim at that point was to spread awareness on this issue, to children, to parents and as a society to everyone around. Knowledge is power, and with this knowledge, the younger generation will have the power and confidence to defend them from the outer world. Parents are more willing to hear things out. Survivors are more open to talking about their suffering and get help. One-to-one its mission is to protect and provide support and services to every poor, orphan, discarded and physically challenged children and contribute to their physical and mental development by preventing them from abuse and exploitation. Therefore it offers a prospect of promoting human rights and providing social justice and equal opportunities for women, youth and children in the vulnerable areas of Nepal."--taken from website 2024.05.13
