New Hope Nepal Board

Wow!  How exciting to see our new board come together for their first meeting!  We have a wonderful group of six men and one woman committed to leading.  The board was kept busy for two days being introduced to their new responsibilities, discussing the client population and activities of the organization, reviewing the bi-laws suggested by our lawyer, and working through some decisions about exactly what category of agency we will be registered as.  The agency is currently in the legal process of being registered as a Nepali non-governmental organization (NGO) which we hope will be complete in early 2016.  In the meantime we will continue to bring relief, start the pilot family strengthening and foster care programs, and gather information for community development projects.  

Our working mission statement is:

New Hope Nepal promotes child protection, seeking to preventing trafficking and child abandonment through the empowerment of families and communities.   Our programs focus on the goals of strengthening families, caring for vulnerable children in a family setting, developing sustainable livelihoods, supporting education, encouraging good health, and advocating for those without a voice.
