FACE Nepal is a non-governmental, non-profit organization established by local community representatives and supported by former international volunteers. It was established in the wake of increasing social and educational problems combined with a growing frustration over the inadequate resource distribution, coordination and planning from existing aid and organizations. FACE Nepal has since established itself as the only independent, Nepali run, volunteer aid organization with a transparent operating and cost structure, an international auditing board and a locally collaborative and inclusive strategic planning framework.
