Share:

Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with nearly a third of the country’s 26.4 million citizens living below the national poverty line — less than $0.25 per day — and another third living on less than $2 per day. Mercy Corps works in Nepal to increase resilience to shocks, expand economic opportunities and foster social inclusion through supporting agricultural livelihoods, reducing the risks of disasters and expanding access to financial services.
