Our Local Team
They are the backbone of our work—our heart and hands on the ground. In Nepal, all of the people responsible for our “helping people to help themselves” approach are local. Our Nepal team has 107 employees. We also work with local partners in our project regions. They know the country and its people inside out and, as locals, face no linguistic or cultural barriers. Europeans would find it much harder to build trust so quickly in Nepal’s remote regions. Motivation is also high: Nepalis are helping fellow Nepalis and want to pave the way towards a better future for their communities.
Our headquarters are in Kathmandu, and we operate field offices in our project regions. Even for local staff, working in the high mountains entails hardship, is demanding and can sometimes be dangerous. We are a strong, reliable partner to our local employees, providing health insurance and social security.
Many team members have been with us since our earliest days in Nepal. They prove themselves every day and rise to every crisis: natural disasters, earthquakes and the COVID-19 pandemic. Back to Life in Germany and Nepal work side by side as one team every day, and we are continually inspired by the warmth, optimism and laughter of our colleagues in Nepal.
