Language Preservation
Our Language Preservation program is the cornerstone of our mission. Nepal Bhasa (Nepal Bhasha) is an endangered language spoken by approximately 1 million people worldwide. Through immersive classes for all age groups, digital archiving of oral traditions, and innovative intergenerational learning programs that connect elders with youth, we are ensuring this ancient language survives and thrives for generations to come.

Festival Celebrations
The Newari calendar is filled with extraordinary festivals that express the community's deep spiritual life and cultural identity. Our Festival Celebrations program organizes Indra Jatra, Bisket Jatra, Rato Machhindranath Jatra, and other celebrations in cities across the globe, ensuring that Newari families living far from Nepal can participate in the traditions that define their heritage.

Traditional Arts & Crafts
Newari art is among the most sophisticated and spiritually rich in the world. Our Traditional Arts & Crafts program supports master artisans, funds apprenticeships, organizes workshops for youth, and maintains a digital archive of over 1,200 documented pieces. We also run artist residencies that bring international attention to these extraordinary art forms.
