Letter from Founders

My brother and I were discussing doing some charity work in the school where we were once students in high school. I had a thought about charity from the very beginning of my childhood. I used to feel happier throughout the day when I used to get many chances to do things for the disadvantaged community in my village Madhepura. We lost our mother in our childhood so I proposed the idea of Indu Sah (our late mother) Foundation (ISF).

We agreed on healthcare and education. Our foundation is teaming up with multiple helping hands, foundations, donors, and human resources in Nepal and around the world to take on some tough challenges: better healthcare and education for all the resourceless people under the extreme poverty line in every region of Nepal. Our vision is to help people all around the world. We focus on only a few issues because we think that’s the best way to have a great impact, and we focus on these issues in particular because we think they are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives.

The core strategy of our foundation will be promoting health, and providing health education for a better future for the family, and the children in Nepal. We started from southern Nepal, Mahottari, where we grew up.  As we learn which bets pay off, we must adjust our strategies and share the results so everyone can benefit.

We’re optimistic and believe deeply in philanthropy. We believe by doing these things—promoting, and educating for better health—we can help every person get the chance to live a healthy and productive life.

Founders

I have had life-changing experiences through programs like FIRST, which I joined when I was 8 years old, in which I learned many essential soft and technical skills that have profoundly impacted who I am today. I want to bring this program and others like it to the less fortunate to give them the same life-changing experience. 

With the help of my Uncle and Father, I want to make the lives of others better through health and education.
