Established on 4th September 2015 as a non-governmental, non-profit organization, Food for Life Nepal (FFLN) has been actively raising the voice of children, promoting interfaces among right holders, experts, and duty bearers, making them more accountable for children’s issues, especially in education and health. Food for Life Nepal is formally registered in the District Administration Office (DAO No. 910) in Kathmandu and is affiliated with the Social Welfare Council (SWC No. 42035).
