Nepal School Projects (NSP) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) located in Ontario, Canada, founded in 1975, and run entirely by volunteers. NSP is incorporated as a non-profit organization with the Government of Ontario, and also has a charitable organization status with Revenue Canada - registration BN 11905 3411 RR0001. NSP is also eligible to apply for matching contributions of public funds from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in support of its development activities in Nepal.
The implementation of the projects we support in Nepal is carried out by our counterpart organization NSP/Nepal. NSP/Nepal has been incorporated with the Kabhre Palanchok district administration as a non-profit organization and is managed by its own Board of Directors. It is also affiliated with the Social Welfare Council and the NGO Federation of Nepal. NSP/Nepal's chief executive officer is Mr. Rakam S. Ghalam; NSP/Nepal's office is located on Sri Marga 442 in Lazimpat; telephone number is 4419980. Correspondence can be directed to GPO Box 4479. NSP/Nepal can also be reached by e-mail at nsp-nepal@nepal-school-projects.org .
The key objectives of our organization are to raise and allocate funds for development projects in rural Nepal. The emphasis must be on "grass-roots" projects that clearly benefit the needy and underprivileged people.
NSP feels that the best approach toward development activities in Third World countries is to put the beneficiaries in charge of development projects within their own communities. The local people themselves best understand their own problems and should be encouraged to seek their own solutions, possibly with the help of external material assistance. This approach is also reflected in the reluctance of the Nepalese government to allow expatriates, with a few rare exceptions, to seek or accept employment in Nepal. And when professional expertise is needed, qualified Nepalese professionals can always be found in virtually all fields of endeavor.
For the benefit of anyone who may be interested in working in Nepal, or to become involved in NSP project activities in Nepal, we must point out that we cannot engage any expatriate volunteers in the activities we support in Nepal. We are also not able to provide any information concerning employment possibilities for expatriates or expatriate volunteers in Nepal. Such information should be sought from the Nepalese Embassy in Washington, D.C., large bilateral organizations or NGOs that have a visible presence in Nepal, or the concerned government agencies in Nepal such as the SWC.
