Founded in 1990 with its first programme at Phakhel, Makwanpur Nepal, it was officially registered in 1991 in the District Administration Office, Kathmandu and got affiliated with the Social Welfare Council of Nepal. Health and development professionals with diverse experiences initiated the organization with the aim of empowering poor and socially excluded people living in rural villages of Nepal.
