Nepal Village Foundation is a UK-based organisation. We work very closely with Dalit and poorest of the poor in rural villages of Nepal. We work with them to improve their wellbeing by enabling access to education and learning. We will strengthen villages to enable change to happen in an enduring way so they can determine their own futures and make good use of the resources available to them.
