Adara's work in Nepal is driven by a strong local team, including leaders in remote community development, health, education and finance, supported by skilled staff such as coordinators, programme supervisors and operations personnel.

Now, we're strengthening and refining these through AdaraRemote - our holistic community development model designed to bring quality, accessible services to people living in isolated areas.
