FONNJ provides education, health and micro-Credit and Women Empowerment projects to poor communities in Nepal who have little or no other access to these vital services. Our programs also include social services and cultural preservation.
FONNJ's projects are developed in direct response to the needs and aspirations of the local communities we serve. The projects range from a large micro-Credit project in Nepal to small dispensaries, from scholarships to 150 children to scholarships for higher education for young women, from helping village grandmothers become self supporting to helping for the abandoned elderly.
Our beneficiaries range in age from young children to the elderly. We give special attention to the education, cultural preservation and empower women.
Over 50 projects have been accomplished since 1990, and more than 70,000 beneficiaries are served annually.
Please learn more about our projects through this website. More details on individual programs can be found under Projects.
Under the joint sponsorship of Business Professional Women of Patan, Friends of Nepal-New Jersey (FONNJ) and Rotary District 7510, started distributing goats in Patan area. 30 goats were
distributed to families living in villages outside of Kathmandu. It brings me great pleasure to report on the success of the Micro-credit Goat Distribution and to know that the reciprocal nature of
this program will continue to grow with each generation of newborn goats.
As of 2020 we have distributed more than 150 goats in Nepal and many baby goats have been given to second waiting gamilies.
