For Human Rights, Democracy, Right to Information, Livelihood and Ecology
The dream of a developed and prosperous Nepal is impossible unless poor, women, disadvantaged and marginalized people of a community are empowered, their socio-economic condition is uplifted and they are provided with equal access to property, resources, opportunity and they have a leading role in decision-making processes. In this context, the Humanitarian Organization for People and Ecology, referred to as HOPE Nepal here-in-after, was established in 2009 when senior journalist, human rights activists, Ecologists, and social development workers organized several meetings with a common objective to promote human rights, democracy, people livelihood and ecology.
HOPE Nepal has been registered at the District Administration Office (DAO), Kathmandu, under the Organization Registration Act, 2034 B.S. and affiliated to the Social Welfare Council (SWC). It works with local and national specialists on specific issues relating to Nepal’s development and endeavors to be a leading organization in the field of human right, community development, good governance and sustainable development related issues. HOPE also provides support to various development and research activities that finally contribute to build an equitable and sustainable society.
HOPE Nepal is a non-governmental, non-profit-making and self-motivated organization that aims to contribute to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGS) by working with other organizations to design and implement innovative projects in sustaining democracy, peace and human rights, promoting media, nature conservation, education, health and environmentally sustainable enterprises. As a facilitator, HOPE Nepal builds capacity within existing organizations to replicate successful projects that have designed and executed humanitarian and innovative projects targeting the bottom of the population pyramid.
