Our Story

How Deesha Started

Born from a deep passion for social justice and a belief in the power of community, Deesha Foundation was established in 2014 in Kathmandu, Nepal. What began as a small group of dedicated individuals has grown into a movement touching thousands of lives.

Our founders saw the gaps in education, healthcare, and opportunity across rural Nepal and decided to act. Today, Deesha stands as a beacon of hope, building bridges between communities and the resources they need to thrive.
