SWAN Nepal holds 29th Annual General Meeting
14 October, 2023, Kathmandu – SWAN concluded its 29th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Kathmandu on Saturday, 14 October, 2023.
SWAN is a nonprofit organization working alongside the Government of Nepal since 1994. SWAN Nepal is registered under the Organization Registration Act 2034 of Nepal with the District Administration Office, Kathmandu (Regd. No. 381/50/51) and is affiliated with the Social Welfare Council under section 13 of the Social Welfare Act, 1992 (SWC No. 1752).
SWAN has been providing hopes in the lives of rural women and children of Nepal by focusing on four thematic goals – education & child development, health, livelihoods, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Also, we incorporate ecotourism, gender equality and social inclusion, and emergency response as major cross-cutting issues for the sustainability of our programmes. As a development and humanitarian organization, our effort focuses on needy children, disadvantaged women and marginalized communities, mostly working in Nepal’s remote districts like Baglung, Parbat, Sindhupalchowk, Gorkha, Nuwakot, Udayapur, Mugu, Chitwan, Humla, Achham and Bajura.
We work in close collaboration with government line agencies, municipalities, rural municipalities, key stakeholders, schools and communities, and over the past twenty-nine years, we have witnessed some remarkable difference in the lives of individuals/communities we work with. In addition, we also responded to humanitarian crises like Nepal earthquake 2015, and COVID-19 Pandemic by implementing life-saving interventions to those in need.
Through these 29 years of development and humanitarian work, SWAN today has become a household name in its project area and rural communities across the country. SWAN is committed to its mission of achieving more milestones, creating more impact and adding to the number – for the sake of our people and the country as a whole!
