Community Focus
While international engagement has been a proud highlight, PTPI Nepal also continues to run important local initiatives based on community needs. These include educational support, cultural preservation, and grassroots volunteerism in both urban and rural areas of Nepal.

Despite facing economic and travel-related challenges, the Kathmandu Chapter remains resilient. Their active presence on social media keeps the global PTPI family informed and inspired by their ongoing contributions.

Why Nepal Matters to PTPI
The Nepal chapter represents the spirit of perseverance and community. Their dedication to fostering cross-cultural friendships under challenging circumstances is a reminder of what People to People International is all about.

We remain committed to supporting their efforts and ensuring their voice is heard on the international stage. The Kathmandu team continues to show us that from the highest peaks of the Himalayas can come some of the strongest global connections.
