HeNN was established nine years ago with a primary objective to encourage Nepalis and those who love Nepal around the world to contribute to and provide them a platform for charitable activities in Nepali villages.

Major projects include construction of a health post at Murmu VDC in Mugu district, the ongoing construction of a shelter for conflict-impacted children in Dhulikhel at the cost of over US$100,000 and the establishment of several electronic libraries in village schools.
