Our President’s Message

Warm greetings to all Non-Resident Nepalis living in Japan and across the globe.

The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) was founded with a vision to unite the global Nepali diaspora, safeguard their rights, and build meaningful bridges between Nepal and its sons and daughters living abroad. Today, as we stand in Japan, a nation of opportunity, discipline, and innovation, we are reminded of our shared responsibility: to uplift the lives of Nepalis here and to contribute to the prosperity of our motherland, Nepal.

NRNA Japan has consistently been a voice, a shield, and a guiding light for thousands of Nepalis residing in Japan. From organizing health camps, blood donation drives, student support programs, and legal awareness campaigns to extending immediate assistance in times of crisis, our mission has always been centered around care, connection, and community.

Yet, our aspirations go even further.

We envision building a “Nepal House” in Japan, an enduring symbol of unity, culture, and service. This house will not only serve as a cultural and community center for Nepalis but will also act as a hub for collaboration between Nepal and Japan in areas like education, trade, tourism, art, and technology. It will be a place where every Nepali can feel at home, no matter how far from Nepal they may be.

Our commitment also lies in reinvesting the knowledge, skills, and resources we’ve gathered in Japan back into Nepal. Whether through supporting schools in rural areas, promoting sustainable development, encouraging youth entrepreneurship, or helping during natural disasters, our efforts will be firmly rooted in the soil of our motherland.

One of the greatest strengths of NRNA Japan is its diversity. Our executive committee brings together individuals from different regions, professions, and backgrounds. We may have come from different walks of life, but we are united by a single purpose: to serve.

As we move forward during this tenure, we aim to expand NRNA Japan’s networks both nationally and internationally, ensuring more effective partnerships, impactful programs, and a stronger Nepali identity in Japan. We firmly believe that no Nepali should feel alone or helpless in this foreign land; we are here for each other, as family.

I humbly invite every individual, whether youth, professional, entrepreneur, student, or well-wisher, who believes in service and unity to join us. Together, let’s build a better community here in Japan and a brighter future for Nepal.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.
