The number of companies that open and introduce trade into Nepal is directly relative to the improvement in the living conditions and life quality of the Nepalese people. Supporting local communities that surround our factory is important to us, the more children that can afford to go to school the brighter the future for the area. Getting children into education is why we support Namesta Banepa: www.namastebanepa.com
