The Women's Foundation of Nepal (WFN) The mission of The Women's Foundation of Nepal (WFN) is to help women and children equally, regardless of caste, religion, or race.  WFN is a non-profit and non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 1988 by a group of Napalese professional women who understood dignity, shared a deep sense of social responsibility, and had a strong desire to address the problems of women in Nepal. The principles which animated the formation of WFN still guide its work today. WFN strives to alleviate problems through increasing public awareness of opportunities for economic and social development, by fostering social responsibility and self-reliance in developing villages and cities, and through direct social work. WFN empowers women to improve their lives, strengthen their families, and their communities through practical programs.  WFN unleashes and supports the determination of Nepali women to make the world a better place.
