OUR STORY
From one gathering to a movement
What began as a single assembly of 53 people has grown into an active organization led by a 23-member executive committee. Within our first year we filed for nonprofit status, launched annual blood drives, and stood beside families in their hardest moments — both in New York and back home in Nepal.
From bhajan kirtan on the Nepal Day Parade stage to Teej gatherings of 250+, we carry our culture forward while building a support system every Parbat family can lean on.
