परिचय · Introduction

Green World Foundation — हरित विश्व प्रतिष्ठान

Green World Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental and non-political organisation registered at the District Administration Office, Kathmandu (Regd. No. 412/062/063) and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council of Nepal.

We began with one community forest in Kavrepalanchok, where a handful of households were replanting a hillside that had been cut bare for firewood. Within five years the slope held again, the spring below it ran through the dry season and the forest user group was selling fodder and seedlings. That pattern — community ownership first, technical help second — still shapes everything we do.

Today we work in 24 districts with a team of 96, most of whom live in the communities they serve. Our accounts are audited every year and published in full.

Our Vision

A self-sufficient, equitable and just society, living well within the limits of a green and healthy Nepal.

Our Mission

To strive for a sustainable, self-sufficient and just society — helping rural communities raise the productivity of their land while restoring the forests, soil and water it depends on.

Our Objectives

Raise farm production through multipurpose crops on marginal land, and build people’s confidence and awareness of the bond between society and nature, and between each person and their community.

Our Journey

From one hillside to twenty-four districts

Registered in Kathmandu with nine founding members and a single community forestry project in Kavrepalanchok.

Spring-shed restoration and organic farming programmes begin in Dolakha and Sindhuli at the request of local farmer groups.

Governance

How decisions are made

A nine-member Executive Committee elected by the General Assembly every three years sets policy. Day-to-day management sits with the Executive Director, and every programme has a community-elected user committee that holds the implementation budget.

  • General Assembly of 168 members meets every year
  • Executive Committee of 9, at least 4 women, meets quarterly
  • Independent audit by a registered CA firm each fiscal year
  • Procurement above NPR 5 lakh is publicly tendered
  • Complaints and whistle-blowing channel open to communities
