Friendship Association for Community Education (FACE) Nepal

Qui sommes-nous

Friendship Association for Community Education (FACE) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization established by local community representatives and supported by former international volunteers. It was established in the wake of increasing social and educational problems combined with a growing frustration over the inadequate resource distribution, coordination and planning from existing aid and organizations.

Uplifting communities through international collaboration, education and friendship.

The heart of FACE Nepal's mission is transparency (through direct contact with our local team and clear accounting) and sustainability (by ensuring community support and inclusion on all projects and sponsorships).
