Aanandit Aid to Nepal

Aanandit Aid to Nepal is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to providing poverty relief in Nepal, with a special focus on supporting children and responding to natural disasters.

History and Formation

The organization was formed following the 2015 Nepal earthquake, after two members of the group witnessed the disaster firsthand while volunteering at the Aanandit Charity Centre (ACC) in Kathmandu. Following their airlift by the Canadian military, they established Aanandit Aid to Nepal to raise funds for relief efforts and support ongoing projects in Nepal.

Mission and Activities

Aanandit Aid to Nepal is completely volunteer-run, ensuring that donations are used directly for relief and projects with minimal administrative overhead. Their main efforts include:

• Poverty Relief: The charity supports the Aanandit Charity Centre in providing aid to those in need, especially during natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides.
• Education and Support: They assist in running a children's home and a shelter for young women, providing education support for poor children and families.
• Disaster Response: The organization responds to disasters in Nepal, including the recent 2023 earthquake and floods.

Registration and Operations

Aanandit Aid to Nepal is designated as a registered charity by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with the business registration number 811546969RR0001. This status allows donors to receive tax receipts for their contributions. The organization ensures that over 95% of funds raised go directly to support projects in Nepal.
