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: Damien Foundation

URL: https://www.damiennepal.org/

Description: Organization founded in 1964 The Damien Foundation is a Belgian, national, pluralist and apolitical NGO. Established in 1964, on the heels of the "World Leprosy Days" started by Raoul Follereau ("the lepers' lawyer"), the Damien Foundation draws daily inspiration from the work of two other key figures: Dr. Frans Hemerijckx ("the lepers' doctor" to whom we owe "clinics under the trees", which means the hospital goes to the patient and not the other way around) and, of course, Father Damien ("the lepers' apostle"), who modelled values to apply every day, both in Belgium and abroad. - From the website 2021.06.01
