Mission Statement
The aim of the Network is to provide assistance in the fields of health, education and disaster relief support in rural Nepal. We envision a society where every relatively able individual contributes a small portion of their earnings for the benefit of those who genuinely need support. We call this ‘Practical Philanthropy’, an approach which will not hamper an individual’s normal life but which will benefit disadvantaged communities.
About This Cause
Help Nepal Network is a charity registered in the UK (Charity Registration Number 1088951). Help Nepal Network has a central office in Nepal which manages the projects. The launch of HELP NEPAL Network (HeNN) was an attempt to demonstrate how the collective efforts of Nepalis and others interested in the country’s wellbeing could make a difference in the lives of many in a country like Nepal. It was also a reaction to the fact that, whilst being in a much more privileged position compared to that of most fellow citizens in Nepal, only a few Nepalis living abroad were doing something to help the country of their birth. In contrast, many non-Nepalese were engaged in philanthropic activities in Nepal and virtually all Non-Governmental Organisations in the country were being financed by foreign donors. In such a situation we thought that it would be appropriate to encourage the large and resourceful pool of expatriate Nepalis, as well as those living in Nepal, to contribute to Nepal as much as they could. Hence, Nepalis are at the centre of the Network’s activities, though we warmly welcome any help and donations from other communities. HELP NEPAL Network Nepal, based in Kathmandu, co-ordinates and supervises the Network’s activities and projects in Nepal. It consists of a small group of dedicated volunteers without whose sincerity and dedication the Network would not have achieved what it has today. HeNN Nepal also works towards promoting a culture of giving within Nepal. For example, the HeNN teams abroad encourage Nepalis to “have a can of beer or a carton of juice less in a month and donate the savings to the fund” and HeNN Nepal encourages Nepalis at home to “have a plate of momo or a few cups of tea less in a month and donate the savings to the fund.” We believe that society in particular and the world in general would be a much better place if every individual were to have a cultivated sense of charity. The running cost of its Kathmandu-based three-member office and other administrative expenses are borne by a separate Endowment Fund (known as a Trust Fund in Nepal) set up by the Network with the help of generous donors living in various parts of the world. This fund allows the Network to spend every single penny donated directly on the projects it undertakes. All executive committee members and coordinators working in the many different chapters are volunteers.
