Meet the SSN Founders - Netra and Namuna
They have been involved in supporting children, families, and community work for many years. Their hearts have always been to help children from vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds receive education, care, and opportunities for a better future.
Over the years, they have worked closely with community organisations and supporters to help provide education support, hostel care, child protection, and daily guidance for many children, especially from marginalized communities in Nepal. Much of their work has focused on helping children stay in school, supporting their personal growth, and creating a safe and caring environment for them.
They strongly believe that education, love, and encouragement can change the future of a child and their communities by breaking the generational cycles.

Understanding the Badi Community
Many of the girls and families we support come from the Badi community in Nepal — a historically marginalised group that has faced generations of discrimination, poverty and limited access to education and opportunity.
For many young girls, this vulnerability places them at significant risk of trafficking, exploitation and forced cycles of poverty.
What makes this reality particularly heartbreaking is that many of these children are incredibly bright, creative and ambitious. Yet without access to safe housing, education, healthcare and community support, their opportunities can remain painfully limited.
Our work exists to help create a different path.
Through safe accommodation, education, mentorship, vocational training and long-term community support, we aim to help girls and young women build futures shaped by dignity, independence and possibility.
This is not simply about immediate aid.
It is about breaking generational cycles and creating lasting change.
Bimala is one of the driving forces behind the work of Asha Nepal in Kathmandu.
As a local leader and mentor within the organisation, she works closely with girls and families affected by trafficking, abuse and extreme vulnerability. Her role extends far beyond daily operations. Bimala is a trusted guide, advocate and maternal figure for many of the young women in Asha’s care.
Asha Nepal is a grassroots organisation devoted to preventing the trafficking and abuse of girls and supporting survivors through trauma counselling, healthcare, education and long-term community care. Their work focuses on helping women, children and families rebuild their lives socially, emotionally and economically so they can live with safety, dignity and independence.
Bimala’s leadership is deeply connected to this mission. Through compassion, consistency and lived understanding of the community, she helps create safe spaces where girls can heal, grow in confidence and begin to imagine different futures for themselves.
At the heart of her work is a belief that real change happens not only through rescue, but through long-term care, education, trust and the preservation of family and community wherever possible.
Asha Nepal
What began more than a decade ago as a trip to experience Nepal’s culture and landscapes became something I could never have anticipated. I went to see the mountains, but I stayed for the people.
During that first visit I was confronted with a reality that was impossible to ignore. In parts of Nepal, more than 80% of girls born into the Badi community, historically one of the most marginalised groups, are at risk of being trafficked across borders.
In that moment, what was meant to be a short journey became a long-term commitment to help break that cycle, girl by girl and family by family.
Through partnerships with remarkable organisations such as Asha Nepal and SSN, our work has moved beyond temporary relief toward building lasting foundations. Safe hostels provide shelter, food, education and healthcare. Training programmes give women the skills and confidence to shape their own futures.
At times the scale of the challenge can feel overwhelming. Yet every visit reminds me why this work matters. When a young girl looks you in the eye and says she wants to become a teacher, a doctor, or start her own project to help others, you realise that change begins with the smallest spark of belief.
We are not simply building hostels, farms or training centres. We are creating the conditions for dignity, independence and possibility, where hope is no longer something distant, but something that can be lived every day.
If this moves you, I would love you in this community.
