Empowering Communities in Nepal
The foundation is entirely run by volunteers here in Australia and all donations are transferred to Nepal to deliver both humanitarian and development projects in western Nepal identified, defined and prioritized by community and village leaders.
Fundamentally, the purpose of the foundation is to improve lives of Nepalese people in remote parts of western Nepal, the Gandaki Province, through projects that enable villages to become more self-sustaining and provide children opportunities for quality education and good health.
REACH for Nepal also provides the opportunity for Australian educational institutions and other groups to provide aid in areas aligned with the foundation's objectives.
The work of the foundation was officially recognised by the Nepalese Ambassador in late 2018 for supporting social services, education and health and broader groups in Nepal
How we work
We ensure your support creates maximum impact on the ground through transparent governance and direct community involvement.
1. Apart from standard third-party donation processing fees, 100% of public donations go directly to community projects in Nepal.
2. Projects are identified, defined, and prioritized directly by village leaders, local women’s groups, and community members.
3. Every initiative is evaluated against our foundation's vision and the UN SDGs to guarantee lasting, responsible impact.
Our Local Delivery Partner
We work directly with our in-country sister organization, (also) REACH for Nepal, which serves as our advisory and delivery partner on the ground.
Through an established network across western Nepal, our local team designs, implements, and monitors every project. Our formal partnership agreement maintains strict operational standards, including:
-
Clear alignment on the value and contribution of each party.
-
Defined roles, responsibilities, and mutual objectives for all parties.
-
Financial and non-financial resources and support offered by and required of each partner.
-
A established dispute resolution process.
-
Mutual accountabilities for reporting, sharing information, and ongoing communication.
-
Specific statements regarding child protection, prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment, and prompt incident reporting.
How are we different
What sets the Foundation apart from other not-for-profit charities is that all money donated to the foundation here in Australia goes to Nepal (apart from donation transaction fees incurred by the third party), as everyone who contributes to the foundation here in Australia do so in a voluntary capacity.
