United Mission to Nepal

United Mission to Nepal (UMN) is a co-operative effort between the people of Nepal and a large number of Christian organisations from 18 countries in four different continents. Established in 1954, it seeks to serve the people of Nepal in the Name and Spirit of Christ. As UMN's understanding of poverty in Nepal continues to evolve it is focusing its efforts to address the underlying causes of poverty so that the basic needs of the poor are more effectively and sustainably met

UMN is working with Nepali organisations as they strive to improve conditions and opportunities for the poor and marginalised. Our aim is to pass on relevant skills and to help to develop sustainable organisations and projects especially in rural areas of Nepal.

Expatriate team members do not receive a salary or remuneration of any kind from UMN directly, but are self supported volunteers or supported by a 'sending mission organisation' or church in their home country that provides for all their financial needs during their assignment.
