Welcome
The Nepal Library Foundation (NLF) exists to promote literacy in Nepal. Our mandate is to support library development and work towards a national library system.
A Canadian registered charity, the foundation was established and is run by a committed group of volunteers based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Two of our Board members are Nepali born and our staff include professionals from the fields of education, engineering and medicine. We have developed a close working relationship with the Non Resident Nepali Association (NRNA), which has appointed the NLF as the agent through which libraries in Nepal are supported, and has been a major source of funding and donations.
President's Message
The past two years have seen the NLF grow from a concept to an actuality. We now have the means by which funds can be deployed to help build, stock and equip libraries in both rural and urban settings. We have built strategic partnerships, received our first grant and raised funds from donors. The current state of literacy in Nepal requires that we lobby to have library development made a top priority both in Nepal and amongst international aid donors as a means of rapidly raising the literacy rate in Nepal.
We look forward to your continuing support in making a tangible difference to people across Nepal.
