Who We Are

About HOPAD Nepal

A consortium of social workers, human rights activists, and lawyers working together to aid children and women in need since 2005.

Our Story & History

HOPAD (Helpless, Orphan, Poor, Affected, and Dalits) Child & Women Promotion Society is a humanitarian non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Nepal. We are dedicated to providing care, rehabilitation, education, and development support to children and women who have been marginalized by society, poverty, or disasters.

Founded in 2005 by human rights activists, social workers, and legal advocates, the organization was born out of a shared concern for the vulnerability of orphaned children and destitute women. From our modest beginnings supporting a handful of children in a rented building, we have grown into a stable, supportive family, advocating for human rights and changing lives in Lalitpur.
