About Us

About Us

Hope Foundation (HF) is a non-governmental, non-political, and non-profit organization officially registered in 2011 with the District Administrative Office of Kathmandu, Nepal, and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council (SWC) of the Government of Nepal (GoN).

We are dedicated to creating a non-discriminatory, community-based, and supportive environment that helps individuals bring positive and lasting changes in their lives. Our work focuses on drug use and harm reduction, HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, anti-human trafficking initiatives, and community development.

Our organization is driven by a committed team of professionals and volunteers — many of whom have personal experience with drug use or are living with HIV/AIDS. Their lived experience and compassion form the foundation of our approach to recovery, empowerment, and social change. HF believes that by empowering affected individuals, we can strengthen entire communities. Our guiding motto is:

 

“To develop the society is to develop the country; to develop the country is to develop the world.”

Our Mission

Promote a non-discriminatory, supportive community lifestyle that encourages positive changes, reduces harm, and fosters spiritual growth among drug users in Nepal.

Empower individuals by providing knowledge, skills, and resources to minimize the negative consequences of drug use, including blood-borne infections, using evidence-based best practices.

Engage policymakers, political leaders, program implementers, and media to create an enabling environment for universal access to health, rehabilitation, and support services.

Deliver effective treatment and rehabilitation so individuals can reintegrate as productive, responsible members of society.

Conduct awareness programs in schools, colleges, communities, and families to reduce stigma and promote understanding of addiction and recovery.

Offer skill development and livelihood opportunities in collaboration with local communities as alternatives to substance use.

Vision

We envision a Nepal where every individual has access to comprehensive health services, community development opportunities, and the full spectrum of political, social, economic, and cultural rights. A society free from stigma and discrimination, where people living with HIV/AIDS, recovering from addiction, or affected by social challenges can live with dignity, empowerment, and hope.

We aspire to build inclusive communities that foster equality, provide employment opportunities, and support holistic well-being, contributing to a healthier, stronger, and more resilient society.
