About Us and Our Work

We work in the Sunsari district, which is in the Terai region of East Nepal. The structure is simple - in the UK unpaid trustees and volunteers are responsible for fundraising, providing strategic direction and advice to the local Nepalese team, and oversight, including use of charitable assets. In Sunsari, a small Nepalese team runs our pro-poor Agricultural Co-operative.

Our focus is now on creating a sustainable future through the establishment of a strong and successful Ujyalo Bhabisya Co-operative to provide pro-poor access to basic financial services for the poorest people of Sunsari. Investing our time and resources into enabling the Ujyalo Bhabisya Co-operative to become self-sufficient, should generate funds in a sustainable manner for the traditional Programme Ujyalo Bhabisya activities (education, health etc.).
