About Us

The Community Rural Development Society Nepal (CRDS Nepal) stands as a non-
governmental, not-for-profit social development organization. It was initially founded in
1992 by a group of social workers with the specific objective of operating a secondary school
in the then Dadankot VDC. Over time, CRDS Nepal has evolved into one of the rapidly
advancing NGOs in the Darchula District and Sudurpashchim province. The organization has
achieved this status through the implementation of diverse development programs that span
across different geographical areas and populations within Nepal.
CRDS Nepal, established in 1992 in Darchula District, operates as a non-governmental, not-
for-profit social development organization. Our primary mission revolves around improving
the quality of life for rural families, with a particular focus on women, children, and the
impoverished. We understand the significance of taking an integrated approach to
development. Consequently, our initiatives are characterized by diversity, covering a range of
geographical areas and populations to address the multifaceted challenges faced by
communities in Nepal.
