Inspire Greater HOPE!

Welcome to HOPE worldwide Nepal “आशा संसार”

Who We Are

For nearly three decades, Asha Sansar has been at the heart of community transformation across Nepal. Since our founding 29 years ago, we have empowered thousands through impactful programs in education for children, job skills training for women and youth, microfinance, and community development.

With active centers in Kathmandu, Chhaimale, and Biratnagar, we are excited to expand our reach with a new center opening in Chitwan in January 2025. This marks another step forward in our mission to serve under-resourced communities across the country.

Our initiatives are deeply rooted in the values of equity, dignity, and opportunity—and they are strategically aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These global goals guide our efforts to build a better, more sustainable future:

Our Programs

Transformative Initiatives for Sustainable Community Impact.

Education

Our programs include the Asha Vidhyashram School, which provides free, high-quality education to underprivileged children in Kathmandu, as well as our Vocational Training Centres in Kathmandu, Chitwan & Chhaimale, which empower marginalized youth through skill enhancement courses such as English proficiency course, computer literacy and digital marketing. These initiatives equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to secure better job opportunities and build a brighter future.

Disaster Management & Medical Services

We deliver disaster relief, rebuilding, and risk reduction, which is complemented by free medical camps that provide essential healthcare to vulnerable communities, benefiting over 1000 individuals annually. Additionally, we expanded our disaster relief efforts, offering critical support during the recent flooding in Nepal, with funding from World Bank Nepal. We have hired a full-time nurse who will provide healthcare for the students and deliver health education to the wider community.

Women’s Empowerment

The Women’s Economic Empowerment program in Kathmandu & Chhaimale equips 140 vulnerable and marginalized women annually with skills in tailoring and beauty culture in total. This initiative empowers them to foster independence and build sustainable livelihoods through skill development and furthering their economic opportunities.

Volunteering

Our volunteer program empowers communities affected by material poverty through impactful initiatives such as educating children, mentoring youth, rebuilding post-disaster areas, and fostering global collaboration. Guided by the principle of mutual respect, we aim to create sustainable change and strengthen community resilience.

A Growing Partnership with Lincoln School

We are proud to highlight our growing partnership with Lincoln School, the largest international school in Kathmandu. This summer, their students and teachers have been making a meaningful impact in our communities through hands-on service and learning.
At the same time, high school students from Lincoln School chose to spend their school summer holiday by volunteering at Asha School—teaching classes, helping in the library and computer lab, and supporting psychosocial and swimming sessions.
We’re grateful for this ongoing collaboration rooted in mutual learning, compassion, and service. Here’s to building a brighter future—together!

Supporting Students’ Mental Wellbeing: Our Latest Effort

We have launched psychosocial support for Asha School students, beginning with our first workshop this month. Every two weeks, a two-hour session will be held for children in grades 3, 4, and 5.
Despite their resilience, these children face deep trauma linked to extreme poverty, including neglect, child labor, domestic violence, and loss of parents. Many struggle to express their emotions, focusing instead on daily survival.
The workshops are conducted by Reuben Hughes, a Master’s student in psychology, who has developed the curriculum and engages experts from his university to support the sessions.
