Purpose
  
HeNN works towards promoting a culture of giving within Nepal. For example, the HeNN teams abroad encourage Nepalis to “have a can of beer or a carton of juice less in a month and donate the savings to the fund" and HeNN Nepal encourages Nepalis at home to "have a plate of momo or a few cups of tea less in a month and donate the savings to the fund." We believe that society in particular and the world in general would be a much better place if every individual were to have a cultivated sense of charity.

Introduction

Help Nepal Network or HeNN is one of the largest charities of Nepal with the motto One dollar a month. It was founded by Rabindra Mishra. Its vision is to promote the idea of practical philanthropy among Nepalese living in and outside of Nepal.

  • HELP NEPAL Network: One Dollar a Month Fund for Nepal

    HELP NEPAL Network: One Dollar a Month Fund for Nepal is a global charity run on a fully voluntary basis. The running cost of its Kathmandu-based three-member office and other administrative expenses are borne by a separate Endowment Fund (known as a Trust Fund in Nepal) set up by the Network with the help of generous Nepali donors living in various parts of the world. This fund allows the Network to spend every single penny donated directly on the projects it undertakes. All executive committee members and coordinators working in the many different chapters are volunteers.
