Mokchya Nepal
About us

Started by the community, still answerable to it

Mokchya Nepal is a non-profit working with rural communities across Nepal on education, health, livelihoods and disaster resilience.

Our story

Building Sustainable Change

Vision

A Nepal where no one's possibilities are decided by where they were born or what their family earns.

Mission

To run community-led programmes in education, health and livelihoods — and to hand each one over to local institutions built to sustain it.

Mokchya Nepal was born from a simple, grounding realization: true, lasting change cannot be brought in from the outside for a brief moment and then packed away. Too often, support arrives, distributions happen, and temporary camps pack up—leaving the underlying challenges of the community unchanged. We were founded to do things differently.

Guided by our core motto, "Health and Education for All," we are dedicated to creating meaningful, community-led impact across the fields of health, education, and the environment. We believe these pillars are deeply interconnected: healthy children learn better, educated communities protect their surroundings, and a thriving environment sustains future generations.

01What we hold to

Four things we do not trade away

01

Dignity first

No photograph, report or campaign of ours turns someone's hardship into an exhibit. No one's story is told without their consent.

02

Open books

Income, expenditure and audited accounts are published every year — including the targets we missed.

03

Local hands

Ninety per cent of our field team come from the districts where the programmes run.

04

Handover as the goal

No programme should depend on us. Transfer within three to five years is the target, not an afterthought.

02Milestones
