TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT 2024_2025
Foreword
Community Support Nepal (CSN) remains committed to bringing measurable, sustainable, and meaningful improvements to the lives of children, young people, vulnerable elderly individuals, and communities in Nepal. This year, we continued to focus on supporting those most in need—hidden children and overlooked elderlies—providing them with protection, education, healthcare, legal aid, and a safe environment filled with love and care.
Rehabilitating individuals who have faced traumatic experiences is challenging, but we strive to reintegrate them into mainstream society by addressing their emotional, physical, and social needs. In this report, we outline our activities, measure our progress against clear objectives, and highlight our unwavering dedication to accountability, efficiency, and building strong relationships with beneficiaries and supporters.
