Who We Are

  • We are a group of creative people — writers, translators, editors, painters, musicians and journalists — working for social transformation, charity, philanthropy, and in the field of art, literature, painting and music.
  • We connect Nepal with countries abroad on common human concerns that include social welfare, children’s protection and support, disaster management and identification and promotion of talents that are rare, but underprivileged.
  • Writing, compiling, publishing, promoting and developing art, literature, painting and music is another key area of our interest. We organize events bringing writers, singers and painters together. We also edit, translate and publish works of literature. We believe, art is beyond borders. It is universal.
  • To consolidate inter-civilizational understanding, we constantly interact with people across borders. Sometimes, we visit other countries, and at times, we invite writers and artists from those countries to Nepal.
  • We are tireless people, always striving to promote brotherhood among people of all civilizations in the world.
