UMN Support Trust is an independent charity founded in 2012. It works in partnership with local organisations in Nepal, in particular UMN and the UMN MDT hospitals in Tansen and Okhaldhunga, to ensure that the funding needs are correctly identified and funds granted by UMN Support Trust are effectively used.
We support projects in Nepal to:
- Relieve people who are in need because of poverty, sickness or distress or as a result of conflict;
- Advance education and health in Nepal and elsewhere;
- Encourage the Christian community in Nepal to be an agent of change in society, using their own God-given resources to work against poverty and injustice;
- Promote any charitable purposes connected with United Mission to Nepal, UMN Medical & Development Trust and to raise and administer funds for such charitable purposes.
We focus on partnering with United Mission to Nepal, UMN’s 11 or more local partner organisations and UMN Medical and Development Trust.
Nepal is the poorest country in South Asia and ranks 143rd out of 186 nations, according to the UNDP Human Development Index (2023). The difficult terrain, few roads, poor infrastructure and heavy reliance on income from rural sources and overseas, limit the rate of development.
UMN Support Trust will not accept unsolicited requests for funding.
