NIDISI

NIDISI is a Nepalese-European non-profit organization founded in May 2021, dedicated to promoting a change in consciousness and addressing global challenges through innovative and scalable social entrepreneurial solutions. The name NIDISI comes from the Greek word "sinidisi," which means "conscience" or "awareness," reflecting the moral responsibility that is at the heart of our work[3][4][5].

NIDISI is driven by the belief that humanity can do better. Our mission is to create sustainable value for society, the environment, and the economy through social entrepreneurship and the engagement of local communities. We believe in the power of social business as a modern tool for development cooperation that goes beyond traditional dependencies and promotes real empowerment[3][4].

NIDISI works on a variety of projects focusing on different areas:

• Education Project: We advocate for educational and opportunity equality and have already rebuilt family homes and classrooms destroyed by the earthquake in Nepal in 2015. Additionally, we support children and young people in their school and university education[3][4].

• Water Project (Happy Water Project): Since 2018, we have been providing clean and affordable drinking water for over 7,500 people. This project has established itself as a successful example of social entrepreneurship[3][4].

• Recycling Project (ReValue Project): Founded in 2019, this project aims to treat plastic waste as a resource rather than as waste. We invest in recycling infrastructure in Nepal and conduct intensive research in the field of plastic recycling and the plastic voucher system[3][4].

• Menstruation Project: This project started with workshops on menstrual hygiene and has developed into a social enterprise that produces and distributes biodegradable menstrual pads made from banana fibers. The profits fund comprehensive awareness campaigns on menstruation in Nepal[3][4].

NIDISI firmly believes that sustainable development can only be achieved through responsible and community-oriented principles. Our projects are designed to create long-term value and reduce dependence on external resources.

• Responsible Ownership: NIDISI operates as a steward-owned GmbH, meaning that the company is not focused on profit maximization but serves the higher purpose of benefiting society and nature. All profits are used to achieve our social and environmental goals[4].

• Local Engagement: We work closely with local communities to ensure that our projects are tailored to the specific needs and challenges on the ground. This co-creative approach allows us to develop sustainable solutions that have long-term viability[3][4].

NIDISI aims to expand its projects into more countries, thereby increasing global impact. With a strong network of volunteers, partners, and local communities, we are committed to realizing our vision of a better world. Through our work, we want to demonstrate that with commitment and awareness, existing solutions to the major global problems of our generation can be implemented[3][4].
