Over the past decade, Nepal Rising has steadfastly supported numerous underprivileged and marginalized communities in need in Nepal, providing relief, rebuilding, and fostering resilience.
The theme of this year's gala is "Empowering Communities for Resilience".
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are thrilled to host our annual gala with Dr. Mimi Gates gracing us as the Guest of Honor, alongside a lineup of amazing guests from Gates Foundation and others. This event is not only a celebration of our milestone but also a tribute to the communities we have helped thrive through the unwavering support of our donors and the larger community.
Additionally, we have a number of special guests arriving all the way from Nepal for Voices From The Ground. Please join us to hear inspiring stories from our partners about the impact we have collectively made and the resilience of the communities we have supported. Your presence and support will continue to empower these communities into the future.
