Joy Foundation Nepal

About Joy

Joy Foundation Nepal (JOY) is a non-governmental organization that was founded in 1996. As the name already implies, JOY was formed as an initiative to “Share the JOY of Giving” by a team of benevolent, philanthropic and socially committed businessmen. The main focus was right from the beginning on eye care, esp. eye camps and cataract surgeries in cooperation with Tilganga Eye Center. Over the years JOY has been involved in various further activities, such as  health camps, training programs, emergency support, student scholarships and environmental projects (i.e. cleaning and sanitation programs) etc., always focusing on people that are especially challenged, disadvantaged, discriminated or socially and economically deprived.

JOY has established an efficient network of organizations specialized on issues mentioned above. This made it possible to organize health and education programs all over the year. In Nepal Australia Friendship Association (NAFA) JOY has a strong international Partner to cooperate on various programs and assist their Members during their yearly stay in Nepal and in monitoring their activities during their absence.

At present JOY is moving back to its root, by focusing especially on eye care. Another important project area is Further Education and Training (FEAT), which includes Student Scholarships, Further Training for disadvantaged Youth, Trainings for Social worker and a Volunteer program.
