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: Social Development Center

URL: http://www.sdcmahottari.org/

Description: Social Development Canter (SDC) is a registered Non Government and Non-Profitable social welfare organization. We discuss all forms of caste & class violence, gender & domestic violence, all kinds of social & economic evils and discriminations prevailing in our society leading to conflict. We concluded that the root cause for such violence and social evils is not only economic but also the caste & ethnic and patriarchal structures of social organization. These have perpetuated poverty, many other kinds of social evil and discrimination and we concluded that the only way to resolve conflict is in a democratic and institutionalized way. Therefore SDC was the result of our resolve. -- From the website, 2019.07.01 Organization founded in 1997
