Welcome to our website!

Caritas Nepal (CN) welcomes you to its new website, the launch of which, incidentally, coincides with the emergence of a new and exciting Nepal, which holds much promise for renewed efforts towards the uplifting of the underprivileged, the marginalized and the needy.

Some of you may have visited our old website, with which we started our web presence, and which we have developed into this second version. We hope that you will find our new website interesting and useful. We want to make this website comprehensive, attractive and informative, but at the same time keeping it simple, uncluttered and user-friendly. We have not yet completed construction of some of the sections/pages, which you will find marked “under construction”, and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. We will get these uploaded as and when each one gets completed.
We would greatly appreciate any suggestions or feedback regarding this site and have provided a feedback form for this in the Contact Us section. Please also use this form to request any information that you have not been able to obtain from our website. We intend to further develop our site as we move along keeping in tune with any changing needs that may emerge.

 

Caritas Nepal executive committee members and staff gather for the 18th Annual General Assembly, 5th November 2007.

Seated at the centre are His Excellency the Bishop of Nepal – Monsignor Anthony Sharma (centre left), who is also the President of CN, and the Executive Director of CN – Rev Father K B (Silas) Bogati (centre right). The structure in the background is the church building and belfry (bell tower) of the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Assumption.

Caritas Nepal is the social arm of the Catholic Church in Nepal and about half of its staff members are Catholics. Although many of Caritas Nepal’s staff members are non-Catholics, they serve the organization with the same passion, pride and loyalty as their Catholic colleagues.

 

The Executive Director of Caritas Nepal, Father Silas Bogati, distributes relief to flood victims in Dhanusha on 18 August 2007.

Emergency Relief is a major component of Caritas Nepal’s operations. The past monsoon was an exceptionally bad one for floods and major parts of the Terai were inundated for extended periods, causing huge losses in life and property. Caritas Nepal was once again in the thick of the relief action and emergency relief operations occupied centre stage in Caritas Nepal for most of the year. This disaster happened during the violent disturbances in the Terai – nevertheless Caritas Nepal was the only agency that did not withdraw its personnel but remained on the ground throughout, until it finished what it went there to do – deliver relief to the victims. CN has upgraded its emergency response service to international standards and is now recognized as a major player in the Nepali emergency relief field.
