Project Director

Dear Partner

It is our utmost belief that the right kind of empowerment can create magic – especially financial empowerment of the socially and economically deprived communities.

It is time to make a change. A BIG CHANGE. We want to join in concerted efforts that will lift the Nepali population above the poverty line. And you can help us achieve that.

Our foundation works with financial institutions and help deprived communities step forward and take charge of their lives and well being by helping them engage in income generating activities and enterprises. We firmly believe that given the means, and your enabling hand, these communities will rise up and set in motion an economic revolution that will finally place them on the path to financial freedom.

Thus we seek your expertise, passion and commitment in making this happen. If you’ve ever hungered for a chance to change Nepal, then this is it.

Come forward and take charge of daily activities and lead the foundation’s work to fulfill our vision of a prosperous Nepal.

We envisage the role of the Project Director to be that of a central hub around which various spokes revolve. The position will work with the BOD of the Foundation, key personnel of implementing partners, financial institutions, donor communities, responsible Government and Non Government authorities and finally the project targeted community individuals and organization members.
