United Community Nepal (UniCoN) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit social organization founded by a group of young professionals during covid-19 pandemic in 2020 as a response to the inadequate social protections for vulnerable population groups. UniCoN was formally registered in March 2022 at the Kaski District Administration Office with Registration No. 4442 and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council in Kathmandu with Affiliation No. 53686.
We primarily serve economically, socially, politically, and culturally marginalized communities by providing resources and opportunities to improve their quality of life. We have increasingly integrated ‘Technology and Innovation’ into our operations and research, as well as in the development of evidence-based policies and programs.
"We believe we are UNIQUE organization as we try our best to bring Women, Children, Community, Culture and Innovation together to create a brighter tomorrow. We also believe that when marginalized women, young girls and children are UNITED through education, their families and communities will flourish."
