Namaste Community Foundation (NCF-Nepal) is a non-profit, non-political humanitarian organization that operates independently from any religious affiliations. Registered as an NGO in Nepal and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council in Kathmandu, NCF is dedicated to advancing development initiatives for underprivileged children and women in Nepal since June 2003.
The foundation’s mission includes providing educational support to children from economically disadvantaged families and empowering women living below the poverty line through training, psycho-social counseling, and seed funding to promote financial independence for struggling families.
In addition to its core programs, NCF collaborates with various organizations, including government-run schools, local clubs, and communities, and works closely with local government entities to support the sustainable development goals of Nepal.
Originally established as Namaste Children’s House to offer housing for around 60 orphaned children in Pokhara, Nepal, the organization has expanded its projects to address a wider range of community needs. To better represent its comprehensive activities and initiatives, the foundation rebranded as Namaste Community Foundation, reflecting its commitment to holistic community development.
We want to create a global Namaste family by adding more like-minded people, charities, and institutions as partners using their logo and country flag to represent our entire work as a global initiative.
Our entire Namaste family is very much indebted toward our Past and Current contributors along with the world-famous actress, Mrs. Angelina Jolie, for her generous gift of 20,000 USD, which helped us start our project in Nepal. We are also very appreciative of the great involvement of the famous actress from the UK, Mrs. Joanna Lumley OBE.
