About Us

FAYA Nepal is a non-governmental, non-political, and not-for-profit organization based in Sudurpashchim Province, Nepal.  It was founded in 1995 and registered with the District Administration Office in Kailali. Forum for Awareness and Youth Activity, Nepal (FAYA Nepal) has dedicated itself to creating a fair and just society in Nepal. Its interventions have empowered communities to access basic services, enhance food security, and develop alternative livelihoods while mitigating risks. Women's rights have been a central focus across all its work. FAYA has actively participated in civil society networks, contributing significantly to local rights and social movements. Initially, FAYA focused on youth empowerment and combating social evils. During 2004 to 2008, the organization adopted a human rights-based approach (HRBA), joining and leading human rights networks. It advocated for policies such as equal wages, safe rehabilitation of freed Kamaiyas, and bolstering women's networks, including the Women's Rights Forum. FAYA's role in peacebuilding and its partnerships with various organizations established its reputation as a rights-based developmental and peacebuilding entity. The strategic plan for 2009-2013 marked FAYA’s entry into the humanitarian sector with themes including disaster risk reduction, women's rights, education, and health, along with cross-cutting issues like HIV/AIDS, gender mainstreaming, and governance. During this period, FAYA emerged as a prominent humanitarian and developmental organization. In 2014, FAYA updated its strategy for 2014-2019 to focus on empowering impoverished communities to access quality services and engage constructively with authorities. This strategy emphasized social accountability, risk reduction for food security and livelihoods, support for quality public services, and women’s agency to combat violence. FAYA implemented projects related to disaster risk management, climate-resilient agriculture, and community-based disaster risk reduction, among others. It was also engaged in humanitarian efforts during emergencies like floods and earthquakes. With the advent of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), FAYA aligned its work with global goals for reducing poverty, enhancing health and education, reducing inequality, and addressing climate change. The new constitution of Nepal, which distributes state functions across central, provincial, and local levels, has supported FAYA's long-standing advocacy for rights of people and local governance.

In 2019, FAYA revised its strategy to better align with constitutional rights and global sustainable development agendas. Its updated vision is "building a prosperous society," with a mission to "contribute to sustainable development for prosperity." The goals for 2019-2024 included ensuring a quality life, decent livelihood, productive human and social capital, safe and resilient communities, and a civilized society. The revised strategy focused on advocating for quality basic needs, social justice, women and youth empowerment, peacebuilding, and resilience. Most recently, FAYA has reviewed its strategy and adopted a new strategy paper (2024-2030). This new strategy paper reflects FAYA's consolidated commitment to rights-based development, peacebuilding, and humanitarian actions with a more sharpened focus on the evolving needs of Nepali communities and global development agendas.

The New Vision:

Nepali society is excited to achieve prosperity. As an instrument of society, FAYA Nepal has derived such excitement of society and translated it into its long-term vision as 'building a prosperous society' and we are committed for the same.

Mission:

A prosperous society is the complex whole of material comfort and emotional pleasure. It can best be achieved through sustainable development, an economic advancement that includes social justice, environmental conscience, and a peaceful and democratic way of life for today and for the future. Therefore, FAYA has made its mission 'contributing to sustainable development for obtaining prosperity'.

Guiding Instruments:

To materialize its vision and mission, FAYA has selected two major guiding instruments: the Sustainable Development Agenda of the United Nations and the Constitution of Nepal. During this strategic period, FAYA will concentrate all its efforts and initiatives on realizing, generalizing, and localizing the SDGs and translate them into practice to obtain the fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitution.

Values:

Transparency and Accountability: FAYA will hold itself accountable for all its conduct and continue transparency as an organizational culture.

Respect for Diversity: FAYA respects social diversity and strives to reflect diversity in its team.

Quality and Excellence: FAYA is committed to maintaining the quality of its efforts and interventions in a global standard.

Social Harmony: All of FAYA's opinions, policies, practices, and deliveries respect social harmony.

Do No Harm: Respect for social harmony is one of the values of FAYA Nepal. During planning, programming, and actions, it will take all possible steps to follow the DNH framework, considering the local context.

 Strategic Slogan: "Together for Prosperity!"
