Binod Neupane is a visionary leader and a well-experienced community development practitioner with over 14 years of expertise in program design and implementation for social, economic, and educational development. As the Founder and Executive Director of United Community Nepal (UniCoN), Binod leads a transformative journey that empowers individuals and uplifts communities.

Binod's journey of transformation and community development began in a rural village in Western Nepal, where he grew up without access to the digital world. From an early age, he learned the value of family bonding and the importance of socialization, which laid the foundation for his commitment to community service.

In 2010, Binod embarked on his career as a Community Worker, passionately advocating for gender mainstreaming and social inclusion in his community. He immersed himself in the lives of the people he served, witnessing their struggles, stories, and the profound joy found in small achievements. It was during this time that Binod's leadership skills began to flourish as he learned to "Lead" by "Leading," marking the inception of his extraordinary journey.

Relocating to Pokhara in 2015 opened new horizons for Binod, granting him access to digital devices and the internet. This expanded his ability to collaborate with various national and international non-profit organizations. With each role he undertook, from Project Officer to Project Manager, Binod continued to deepen his knowledge and expertise in community development.

In 2021, Binod's unwavering dedication and potential were recognized when he was selected for the prestigious Community Solutions Fellowship Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and facilitated by IREX. As part of an exceptional cohort of global changemakers, Binod engaged in a year-long professional development program that not only honed his personal growth but also elevated his leadership skills. During this transformative experience, he had the privilege of being hosted by the esteemed U.S.-based AeroStar Avion Institute.

Fueled by unwavering support and mentorship from AeroStar, Binod's dedication and passion for community development converged. In March 2022, he was able to establish United Community Nepal (UniCoN) with a mission to serve at least 10,000 marginalized women and children by 2030. As the founder and Executive Director, Binod focuses on bringing together women, children, communities, culture and innovative ideas to create a brighter future. Community Education Projects hold a central place in his work, as he firmly believes in the potential to strengthen communities, promote social mobility, empower disadvantaged populations and future generations..

With unyielding determination, Binod leads UniCoN's tireless efforts to uplift marginalized communities in Nepal, champion their causes, and pave the way to create a better tomorrow.

Binod is not just a visionary leader but a beacon of hope and change, dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of those he serves. Under his leadership and guidance, UniCoN stands as a testament to the potential of compassionate leadership and collaborative action in creating a brighter and more equitable future for all.
