How it all began
United Community Nepal (UniCoN) is a youth-led, non-governmental, not-for-profit social organization founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. It emerged from a shared concern among young professionals over the glaring lack of social protections for vulnerable and marginalized groups across Nepal. What began as an emergency response quickly evolved into a passionate, long-term commitment to equity and social justice.
UniCoN was officially registered in March 2022 at the Kaski District Administration Office (Registration No. 4442), and is proudly affiliated with the Social Welfare Council in Kathmandu (Affiliation No. 53686). Since its inception, UniCoN has remained dedicated to serving communities that are economically disadvantaged, socially excluded, politically underrepresented, and culturally marginalized.
At the heart of our work is the belief that everyone deserves equal access to opportunities and resources. We design and implement programs that uplift communities, amplify unheard voices, and foster inclusive growth. From grassroots initiatives to national policy advocacy, we work across various sectors to improve the overall quality of life for those who need it most.
In recent years, we’ve embraced the power of Technology and Innovation as a core part of our identity. Whether through digital tools, research-driven solutions, or data-informed policy development, UniCoN is pushing boundaries to create smarter, more effective ways of driving social impact. By blending tech with compassion, we are building a future where no one is left behind.
"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."
