It is registered as an NGO in Nepal with the motives of furthering development activities for the needy children and women’s sector of Nepal and is affiliated with the Social Welfare Council, Kathmandu. NCF is dedicated to providing education, healthcare and love in a safe home-style environment for the poor, needy, orphaned and abandoned children, giving school support for the children from poor economic families, offering hearing treatments for those with hearing losses, granting financial assistance to start small businesses, training in essential skills for jobs, as well as, arranging a unique opportunity for people from around the world to get involved in social work.We grew from Namaste Children’s House that was supporting housing facilities for about 60 orphaned children of Pokhara, Nepal. It quickly became evident that there was much more to be addressed, thus, the new projects were gradually added. Later, to represent all the activities of the foundation, the board decided to change the name to Namaste Community Foundation as the old name was mostly targeting the children’s homes.The name ‘Namaste’ means: “God with me and I equally respect God within you or God with me and I honor God within you”.
