Social Upliftment
Social upliftment refers to efforts aimed at improving the living conditions, opportunities, and overall well-being of disadvantaged or marginalized communities. It involves addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, education, healthcare, and employment, with the goal of creating a more inclusive and equitable society. Social upliftment initiatives can be led by governments, non-profits, and communities, focusing on empowering individuals through access to resources, skills, and support systems. Ultimately, social upliftment fosters economic development, social justice, and a higher quality of life for all members of society.
Training & Mentoring
Training and mentoring are essential for personal and professional growth. Training focuses on building specific skills through structured learning, while mentoring provides guidance, support, and advice based on experience. Together, they foster a nurturing environment where individuals can enhance their abilities, gain confidence, and develop problem-solving skills. Through this process, mentees benefit from both practical knowledge and the mentor's wisdom, promoting continuous improvement and career advancement. Effective mentoring also strengthens relationships and creates a collaborative culture.

Nepal Don Bosco Society
The Nepal Don Bosco Society is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) run by the Salesians of Don Bosco, a Catholic religious institute founded by St. John Bosco. It was formally established in Kathmandu on 14 August 1996 and affiliated with Nepal’s Social Welfare Council in December 1999.
Since its inception, the Society has dedicated itself to the education and empowerment of marginalized youth across Nepal. Its first milestone came in 1999 with the opening of a high school in Siddhipur, Lalitpur District. By 2002, a hostel was created to accommodate children from remote villages, and soon after, a vocational training institute was launched in Thecho. What began as a small computer center in 2001 has since grown into a state-of-the-art Technical Training Institute offering courses in computer applications, graphics, accounting, hardware, tailoring and fashion, electrical trades, mobile repair, and apparel design.
The Thecho campus also operates an evening tuition program for underprivileged children. Six teachers provide free classes to about 220 students from grades I–VIII, six days a week, giving them access to quality education and mentorship otherwise out of reach. Today, Nepal Don Bosco Society runs nine centers across seven districts, offering educational and vocational initiatives that impact an estimated 10,000 young people annually.
To sustain and expand its mission, the Society established its Development Desk in 2007. Initially focused on student sponsorship, the Desk grew into a hub for fundraising and social action, especially during the 2015 earthquake when it coordinated large-scale relief and recovery efforts. Over time, it has built strong collaborations with Salesian Mission offices worldwide, Caritas, and numerous individual benefactors. In April 2023, the Desk launched a dedicated website to enhance transparency, networking, and outreach.
Driven by Don Bosco’s vision, the Nepal Don Bosco Society continues to transform lives by fostering education, skills, and opportunities for Nepal’s most vulnerable youth—helping them build a future of dignity, hope, and empowerment.
