My name is María Belén Zambrano and I am the new Nepal Project Officer for the ONGD-FNEL. I come from Ecuador and arrived in Luxembourg with my family on a beautiful summer's day in 1999. I have always been interested in the dynamics of social work and development, which led me to work in the NGO sector.

Before starting with ONGD-FNEL, I worked for various NGOs in Luxembourg such as SOS Faim, Humanity & Inclusion and ADA. During my last position, I was in charge of SOS Faim's partnerships in Mali and Ethiopia, monitoring partners' activities on the promotion of agroecology, the defence of land rights and women's empowerment. While working at Humanity & Inclusion, I monitored several projects in Africa, Asia and South America promoting vocational training and integration into the labour market for people with disabilities. I also had the opportunity to take part in Luxdev's Junior Technical Assistant (JTA) programme in Cape Verde for two years and discover the world of bilateral cooperation.

As I settle into my new role, I'm looking forward to working with local partners and discovering Nepal. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

On 31 January 2024, ONGD-FNEL reached an important milestone by signing a new five-year agreement for development in Nepal, in the presence of our President, Mr Kaiser, our Vice-President, Ms Paquet, and our current Project Manager, Mr Jacobs. We are reaffirming our commitment to sustainable development and positive change !

The event took place with enthusiasm and determination in the presence of the Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs, Mr Xavier Bettel.

Our warmest thanks go to all those who made this agreement possible, especially our dedicated local partners.

Together, we are ready to make a significant impact in Nepal, empowering communities and creating a better future. Many thanks to MFA Luxembourg, our members, and our valued donors and sponsors for their continued support.

Every year, mission trips are organised to visit the projects supported by ONGD-FNEL. This support is made possible, in part, thanks to your generous donations. This book has been compiled from photos taken by members of the NGO during these trips. It shows the beauty of Nepal, particularly its wonderful, more remote and less touristy regions, where the projects take place.

ONGD-FNEL invites you to try its Nepali Khel, an educational and fun online game that will allow you to learn more about Nepal, its culture, its people and its geography. Available in three languages (LU, FR and EN), the game is free and will be launched on September 30 on the website https://nepalikhel.lu/.

Have fun and enjoy exploring Nepal!
