The Nepal National Social Welfare Association (NNSWA) was established in 1990. In 1994, NNSWA was registered with the District Administration Office, Kanchanpur, and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council in Kathmandu. Over the years, NNSWA has grown into one of the leading development organizations in Sudur Paschim Province, Nepal, implementing a wide range of integrated, community-based development programs throughout the province. Sudur Paschim Province constitutes the core program area of NNSWA. The districts of the former Far Western Development Region are characterized by poor development indicators, high levels of male migration to India, inadequate infrastructure, significant caste- and gender-based disparities, and extensive deforestation. These conditions provide a strong rationale for NNSWA’s development interventions in the region. NNSWA’s programs are organized into four major sectors: (Education and Early Childhood Development, General Health and Reproductive Health, Nutrition, Disability and Health, Drinking Water, and Sanitation, Community Development through Social and Economic Upliftment, Natural Resource Management (Disaster Risk Reduction and Management [DRRM], Climate Change Adaptation [CCA], and Humanitarian Response)
