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.

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.

ISF COVID-19 Help 2021

Image
The pandemic has yet not let people breathe normally in Nepal. The double mutant Covid-19 forced the Nepal government to lock the nation for the second time from  April 29, 2021 . The lockdown has helped prevent the spread of the disease, but it has caused a hunger crisis in the people who live on daily wages. Science says that to make your immunity strong, you need to consume a nutritious diet, but people living on daily wages suffer from hunger. Then how they are supposed to develop immunity to fight the disease.   Indu Sah Foundation empathizes with those and offers help in every crisis. ISF helped more than a hundred families in 2020 and continues to help.  This time, ISF helped a whole small village named Sukhainiya, located in the rural Mahottari district of Nepal with foods for a month with the support of NepalMed. ISF appreciates them for extending their help. On June 12, 2021, ISF Volunteers distributed foods that included Rice, Daal, Potato, Salt, Oil, Soyabean...

Covid-19 Care at Home.

C ovid-19 is still the biggest challenge for human beings because it's still on the spike despite the various efforts by public health scientists. Not only the Americas are facing the spikes but the Asian nations too. We all have been eying for better and affordable treatments for more than a year, but we are still disappointed. The world leader and the scientists are claiming about the vaccines and their effectiveness however, these are only in the news, which has been helping only the stock markets scaling up not the sufferers. Whether it's AstraZeneca or Pfizer or Johnson and Johnson or else, all have been giving hope, but we are still losing our loved ones, our dining tables are getting emptier. Which shows we need to act ourselves and combat this infectious disease. As of now, most of us know the sign and symptoms of this disease which includes fever more than 100-degree centigrade, sore throat, lethargy, myalgia, arthralgia, shortness of breath, chest pain in the severe c...
