The Chaudhary Foundation

Chaudhary Foundation was established in 1995 by the Chaudhary Group in Nepal for philanthropic activities and social endeavors. Since its inception, social commitments across the nation for the most vulnerable communities have been integrated as programmes and projects of the Foundation for long-term engagement and the holistic and sustainable development of its people. Along with the evolution of the Chaudhary Group, its responsibility and expectations towards society have also evolved, striving towards bigger responsibilities and achieving effective social impact for the nation. Nepal is a land of warm, hardy, and gracious people from many ethnic cultures who are nestled amongst the lofty mountains of the expansive Himalayas, stretching their girth to the Terai plains of the subcontinent.

Nepal is a young hill economy abundant in natural and human resources with a stable federal government and is essentially a peace-loving nation with multiple opportunities waiting to be tapped in agriculture, home-based cottage industries, culture, tourism, and the green energy sector.

Chaudhary Foundation is designed to support the people of Nepal and has been an active ecosystem for a diverse range of projects to address the needs and requirements of the nation in areas of health, education, livelihoods, social businesses, and disaster relief management.
The programmes are incubated sensitively and holistically, preserving traditional ways of living, building the capacities of its people, and harnessing a prosperous and inclusive environment for economic growth, learning, and equality amongst its stakeholders. These perspectives address vital facets that affect the lives of the Nepali people—socially, economically, and culturally.
