Nepal’s population of 29 million includes ethnic and caste groups with distinct cultures and languages, giving this small land locked country a cultural and linguistic diversity that is remarkably complex. Nepal boasts eight of the world’s 10 highest mountains, including Mount Everest, yet it also has the flat river plain of the Ganges on its southern border with India. Entrenched poverty and a decade of violent political instability have taken a toll on the Nepalese people, although a lasting peace is gaining momentum, creating real hope for long-term political reconciliation.

As of April 1st, 2009, Save the Children became one of the largest child-focused organizations in Nepal, working with over 90 partners in 56 districts and reaching over 1.5 million children.
