Sahayog Nepal is a non-profit, non-governmental and non-political organisation registered at the District Administration Office, Lalitpur (Regd. No. 1284/074/075) and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council of Nepal.
We began in the winter after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. Six of us — two teachers, a nurse, a civil engineer and two agriculture graduates — were rebuilding our own villages in Sindhupalchowk and kept running into the same problem: help arrived, but it arrived without the village in the room. So we started an organisation that puts the village in the room first.
Today we work in 38 wards across seven districts with a team of 84, of whom 61 live in the communities they serve. Our accounts are audited annually and published in full.
A Nepal where a child born in a hill ward in Humla has the same chance at school, health and a decent living as a child born in Kathmandu.
To work alongside rural communities and local governments on education, health, water, livelihoods and disaster resilience — with plans the community writes and budgets it can see.
Transparency in every rupee, dignity before charity, women and Dalit voices in every committee, and no promise we cannot keep past the project's end.
A nine-member Executive Committee elected by the General Assembly every three years sets policy. Day-to-day management sits with the Executive Director. Every programme has a community-elected User Committee that holds the implementation budget.
