Our team on site
You are the backbone of our work, our heart and hands on the ground. In Nepal, only local people are responsible for our help towards self-sufficiency. Our team in Kathmandu consists of 107 employees. Additionally, we work with local partners in our project areas. They know the country and its people like the back of their hand, and as locals, they don’t have to overcome language and cultural barriers. It would be difficult for Europeans to build trust so quickly in the remote regions of Nepal. Moreover, the motivation is high: Nepalis helping Nepalis, wanting to pave the way to a better future for their fellow countrymen.

Prof. Dr. Madhav P. Bhatta
Our headquarters is in Kathmandu, and in our project areas, we operate field offices. Even for locals, the work in the high mountains is demanding, exhausting, and sometimes dangerous. We are a strong, reliable partner for our employees on the ground, providing health insurance and social security.
Many team members have been with us since our early days in Nepal. They prove themselves day after day and handle every crisis: natural disasters, earthquakes, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Back to Life in Germany and Nepal work hand in hand every day โ and we are constantly inspired by the warmth, optimism, and laughter of our Asian colleagues.
