Social Impact

The social impact initiatives of National Organics are extensive and aim to uplift communities while promoting sustainable practices. Here’s a detailed overview of their efforts:

Employment Opportunities: National Organics supports small individual farmers and grower groups, enabling them to participate in their business. By integrating these local producers into their supply chain, they create income-generating opportunities directly from their agricultural products. This approach not only ensures fair and sustainable incomes but also fosters economic resilience within these communities.

Empowering Communities:

1. Support for Marginalized Groups: National Organics focuses on empowering marginalized communities, including the poor, women, and other disadvantaged groups. They aim to break traditional norms by enhancing livelihoods and promoting a positive attitude towards self and community.
2. Health Initiatives: Collaborating with Grow Nepal, they organize regular health camps to provide communities access to essential health facilities. This initiative addresses healthcare gaps and promotes well-being among vulnerable populations.
3. Education Programs: National Organics offers non-formal education classes targeted at illiterate older individuals. These classes aim to improve literacy and empower individuals with knowledge and skills that enhance their quality of life.
4. Environmental Awareness: They educate communities about the harmful effects of chemical-based products on both human health and the environment. This knowledge empowers communities to make informed decisions that promote sustainable living practices.

Support for Organic Certifications and Training: National Organics covers all fees associated with organic certifications and provides comprehensive training programs for their communities. This support ensures that farmers are equipped with the necessary skills and certifications to meet organic standards, enhancing their market competitiveness and securing premium pricing for their products.

Charity Work through Grow Nepal: In collaboration with Grow Nepal, National Organics conducts ongoing training programs focused on:

• Improved Agricultural Practices: Training on advanced methods of plantation, cultivation, harvesting, and post-harvest handling ensures optimal product quality and yield.
• Warehouse Management: Efficient warehousing practices are taught to minimize post-harvest losses and maintain product integrity.
• Education and Social Awareness: They emphasize the importance of education for children, promoting general cleanliness and health practices, and advocating for equality and equity among all community members. These initiatives contribute to holistic community development and foster a supportive environment for sustainable growth.
