Message from the Founder
On the mid-spring of 2015, two mega earthquakes (7.8 & 7.2 rector scale) hit Nepal causing death of 9,000+ people in addition to making over three million people homeless. This tragedy caused a colossal economic loss of over US$10 billion which was highly overwhelming for already economically struggling Nepal, which faces incessant political instability.
In the aftermath of the quakes, a large number of individuals, teams, & formal/non-formal organizations from Nepal, numerous parts of the world started to distribute immediate relief items, i.e. tarps, tents, food & sanitation items.
Thereafter, a spirit of extraordinary solidarity among individuals & organizations was born right away -which was a reminder of the story of the mythological bird, the phoenix, rising again from the ashes of defeat. TOGETHER FOR NEPAL (TFN) was born in 2016 from aforesaid spontaneous cooperation and unprecedented synergy -among the concerned ones.
TFN is registered with the Nepal Government as a Humanitarian organization (Non-profit), and it focuses on four (4) segments:
1. Integrated Rural Development 2. Emergency Responses & Post-Recovery, 3. Volunteerism, 4. Servant Leadership Development
