It is a huge pleasure and honor to write this message as president of Friendships Society Nepal (FSN). We have prepared this report for informing our people of the works done by FSN. Sometimes in collaboration with or for other organisations, such as Beyond the Smile, xxx,xxx and xx. The report also includes achievements and future plans for volunteering in Nepal. The report highlights the organization’s commitment to its service and transparency.
It’s been only Seven years since the establishment of FSN. There has been outstanding growth within just a few years. The main aim of FSN is to aid on environment conservation, drinking water, monastery construction, old heritage construction, and sustainable development, education for poor children, helping poor families, small community infrastructure and community health.
Our overall aim is to create a better society for the minority and suppressed groups in our community. Our service has reached to majorities of rural places in Nepal like Solukhumbhu, Kavre, Dhading and many more. FSN projects ranges from Hydro Electricity Projects, Drinking water Projects, School education Projects, Women Community Program Projects, Forestry Community Projects to Women Community Program projects, Earthquake rebuilding and green house projects.
I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our extremely efficient management team and staff who contributed greatly to the continuous growth and success of volunteering in Nepal. We are also equally grateful to the various government and non-government organizations and local and international donors for their immense support, which has contributed to the success of the organization and without whom our mission would have been only a dream.
FSN journey over the past five years has taken us into creating a community that we had always dreamt of. You are always invited to join our programs and you can also come out with your support and contribution if you feel for the cause.
Looking forward to your invaluable help and support!
Founder President FSN
Friendship Society Nepal (FSN) is born with a vision that all humans have a fundamental right to ecological, economic and social security, to the protection and defense of their resources and their livelihoods. We therefore view the conservation of environment and protection of all forms of culture and heritage which will eventually lead to sustainability and development of minority group.
Considering this as a fundamental human duty and a social responsibility, FSN engaged in environment conservation, drinking water, monastery construction, old heritage construction, and sustainable development, education for poor children, helping poor family, small community infrastructure and community health.
We believe that the campaigns and programs we carry lead to improvement of livelihoods of the marginalized community and education of poor children and ultimately overcome poverty and powerlessness.
