World Vision Hong Kong in Nepal (2025)

Tags:

Nepal’s economy has shown encouraging progress in recent years, with poverty levels declining and human development indicators steadily improving. However, communities are experiencing the effects of climate change, while social inequalities have caused public concerns. The large-scale demonstration in late 2025 highlighted the need to address the socio-economic challenges faced by the country.

World Vision began its long-term development work in Nepal in 2001 and responded swiftly to the devastating earthquakes of 2015 with immediate relief efforts. At present, we operate 28 Area Programmes across 7 provinces in the country.

In 2025, World Vision Hong Kong contributed approximately HK$14 million to support 3 APs and 4 other projects in Nepal, reaching about 352,000 people.
