About Help Nepal Network

The largest charitable network of Nepalis, HELP NEPAL Network: One Dollar a Month Fund for Nepal is a global charity run on a fully voluntary basis. The running cost of its Kathmandu-based three-member office and other administrative expenses are borne by a separate Endowment Fund (know as a Trust Fund in Nepal) set up by the Network with the help of generous Nepali 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.

The aim of the Network is to encourage Nepalis and those who love Nepal around the world to provide assistance in the fields of education, health, disaster relief and eLibrary. The first two chapters of the Network were established in the UK and Nepal simultaneously in late 1999 and since then the Network has expanded to a dozen countries. Now the chapters in Australia, the USA, the UK, New Zealand, Sweden and Nepal are each registered either as a charity or as a non profit-making organization as appropriate. HELP NEPAL teams or representatives are also active in Austria, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Qatar. The organization is in the process of expanding its network to other countries, provided that those interested abide by the HeNN guidelines.

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.
