We are thrilled to share that the I.F.C.Hope Foundation has officially taken its first big step. During our inaugural meeting, we came together as a team to decide on the name that will represent our shared commitment to hope and action—I.F.C. Hope Foundation. But more than a name, this meeting marked the beginning of a thoughtful process to build a clear and effective framework for managing our projects, ensuring we can complete tasks efficiently and create real, lasting impact.

At the heart of our discussion was our guiding purpose: to empower individuals and communities in Nepal to thrive,regardless of their background or circumstances. This vision isn’t just words on a page — it’s a call to action for all of us to come together and turn hope into tangible opportunities and improved well-being for those we serve.

As we brainstormed how to make this vision a reality, four key focus areas emerged—each reflecting urgent needs in Nepal and where we believe our foundation can make the most meaningful difference.

Education was the first topic on the table. We recognized how vital literacy and learning are to breaking cycles of poverty, especially in remote regions where children—especially girls and marginalized groups—face barriers to attending or continuing school. We talked about how scholarships, building safe and welcoming learning environments, and mentorship can open doors and empower the next generation to dream bigger. By investing in education, we’re not just helping individuals—we’re planting seeds for stronger communities and a brighter future for Nepal.

Next, we discussed the pressing healthcare gaps across the country. Nepal’s healthcare system faces funding shortages, infrastructure challenges, and difficulties reaching rural areas. We shared stories about how vital maternal health programs, immunizations, nutrition, and mental health services are often out of reach for many families. We are determined to support initiatives that increase access to quality healthcare—whether by funding treatments, supporting mobile clinics, or educating communities about essential health services. Ensuring people can get the care they need is fundamental to helping them live healthy, thriving lives.

Community and welfare support came next in our conversation. We reflected on how many families in Nepal face social and economic hardships that prevent stability and growth. From unemployment to limited social services, these challenges can feel overwhelming. Yet, community mentorship and welfare programs show how much hopeand resilience can be built through emergency aid, skills training, and social support networks. Inspired by Nepali leaders and students who are already making a difference, we’re committed to expanding these programs to nurture stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has the chance to succeed.

Finally, we turned our attention toanimal welfare—an area often overlooked but deeply connected to compassionate community building. Many stray and injured animals in Nepal lack basic care and safe shelter, living in difficult conditions. We believe that caring for animals reflects our values as a society, and supporting animal welfare is part of creating a balanced and healthy environment for all living beings. Our foundation plans to partner with local organizations to fund rescue efforts, provide medical treatment, and promote humane education across Nepal.
