Sowing seeds of hope, knowledge and opportunity across Nepal.

A community development NGO based in Gokarneshwor, Kathmandu — working alongside children, families and local partners so that Nepal's next generation can access education, health and a safe place to grow up.

Our Story

How Sowers Action Nepal began.

Sowers Action Nepal was founded on 21 February 2022 in Gokarneshwor, Kathmandu, under the leadership of our Founder & Chairman, Pasang Wandi Sherpa. It began with one conviction: that where a child is born should not decide what they can become.

From the start, we chose to work in the open. We registered with the Social Welfare Council (SWC Reg. 53507) and the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR Reg. 284609), committed ourselves to being non-profit, non-political and non-religious, and built a strategic partnership with Sowers Action Hong Kong.

The work grew outward from there — hostels, school meals, +2 scholarships, community libraries and warm jackets for children in high-altitude schools. Today our social mobilizers carry these programmes to Sindhupalchok, Mustang, Okhaldhunga and Dhading, with new provincial hubs planned across Nepal's seven provinces.

Our Home: The Winnie Lam Community Hub

None of this runs from a rented room. Our head office, a community library, free language classes and a social enterprise café all operate from a building gifted outright by patron Winnie Lam — freeing every rupee we would have spent on rent for programmes instead.

Founder & Chairman
"Education is not just a fundamental right, but the most powerful catalyst for breaking the cycle of poverty and unlocking human potential."

Namaste and Warm Greetings,

Welcome to Sowers Action Nepal. As the Chairman of this organization, it is a profound honour to share our vision, our journey, and the deep passion that drives everything we do.
