About Us

Shanti Griha works with a multi-pronged approach addressing human beings’ spiritual, physical, intellectual, as well as development needs. It has full-time professionals who reach out through extensive travel to access some of the most underdeveloped peoples and regions of the country.

Besides working with infrastructural projects such as building schools, bridges, and trails, Shanti Griha also works to provide good drinking water, help improve rural economies through income generation, and improve human resource capacity through training and workshops.

Shanti Griha works with local non-government organizations, community based institutions, local user groups, and youth and women’s organizations to implement projects as it believes that the expertise and the ownership of our efforts should belong at the local level and not with us

Shanti Griha has been looking at the experience of other nations who have seen similar insurgency and violence related problems we are facing right now. Rwanda comes to mind and the killings after the state there failed. The initial abandonment of the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Congo also come to mind.

The needs of the Nepalese people are few. As Shanti Griha works to bring succor to the poor in the small ways that we can: taking in drinking water projects, helping build small trials and bridges, making community centers and schools, we realize that we also face a great danger of abandonment by the international community.

We ask that the world take heed of our problems and the crisis that may come about. The people who are suffering the most should be the main “priority” of the development world. Retaliatory actions taken against a few should not impact the fundamental nature of humanitarian aid.

As Nepalese people, we are doing what we can, entering conflict ridden areas, risking our lives, working as hard as we can to help our people. We ask for support not only as an institution but as a peoples. We are trying our best and your contribution and kindness and support means a lot to the Nepalese people and to us at Shanti Griha.
