U-GO Nepal is a non-governmental social organization registered in 2023 and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council (SWC) of Nepal. Guided by the core conviction that 'Talent is universal; opportunity is not,' U-GO Nepal transforms communities by empowering promising young women and marginalized students to pursue and complete higher education.

In response to severe flood damage caused by flash flooding in the Bhote Koshi River corridor, U-GO Global and U-GO Nepal have launched the U-GO Nepal Futures Fund: One-Time Flood-Affected College Student Support Program. This NPR 77.85 Million initiative targets up to 500 college students in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading who face acute financial hardship and risk interrupting their studies. To ensure rapid, transparent, and rigorous execution, U-GO Nepal is recruiting two dedicated Facilitation Coordinators for a 6-month period.

The Nepal Futures Fund Facilitation Coordinators will drive the operational execution, field assessment, verification, stakeholder liaison, and disbursement tracking of emergency grant assistance for flood-affected college students across Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts.
