Qatar Charity Nepal’s Nepal Integrated Development Program Phase II (2022–2026) demonstrates the value of integrated investment in essential services, economic resilience and emergency preparedness. With total grants of NPR 1,264,255,804.31 and expenditure of NPR 1,115,622,488.56 as of 31 July 2026, the program combined long-term development with timely humanitarian action, helping vulnerable communities gain safer water, better education, stronger livelihoods, improved healthcare and protection during crises.
Implemented in coordination with Nepal’s Social Welfare Council, government authorities, local governments, community institutions and local partners, the program delivered 3,003 development projects and nine emergency-response projects. Based on the sector figures reported, these interventions directly reached at least 119,693 people across education, livelihoods and social welfare, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), health, and disaster response.
Education
In education, 126 projects benefited 18,149 people. Support included school construction, scholarships, learning materials, bicycles and laptops for students in need, school furniture, transport assistance and sanitation facilities. Together, these measures improved access, attendance and the quality and safety of learning environments, particularly for disadvantaged children and young people.
Livelihoods, Food Security and Social Welfare
A further 899 projects reached 19,647 beneficiaries through social housing, women’s livelihood initiatives, small-business and vocational support, agricultural inputs, livestock, poultry and beekeeping, irrigation, disability assistance, food aid and Eid clothing distribution. The package strengthened household incomes, food security, self-reliance and social inclusion among women, persons with disabilities and low-income families.
Wash, Health and Hygiene
The largest portfolio was WASH, health and hygiene, where 1,969 interventions served 62,837 people. Projects included shallow tube wells, deep-bore water and irrigation schemes, sanitation facilities in schools and hospitals, reverse-osmosis purification plants, cataract screening and surgery camps, health camps and ambulance support. These investments expanded access to safe drinking water, sanitation and healthcare while supporting water availability for domestic and agricultural use.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Humanitarian Response
Nine emergency-response projects assisted 19,060 people affected by climate and disaster risks. Activities covered heatwave preparedness in the Terai, earthquake dignity kits, winterization assistance, dengue-prevention kits, flood and landslide response, food baskets, nutritional support and other in-kind relief. The interventions provided rapid, practical help while strengthening community resilience and complementing national preparedness and response systems.
Across all sectors, the program supported Nepal’s progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals, including poverty reduction, health, quality education, clean water and sanitation, decent work, reduced inequalities, sustainable communities, climate action and partnerships. Through its community-centered approach, Qatar Charity Nepal translated substantial funding into practical services and lasting opportunities for underserved communities nationwide.
