Anne Frank Project Nepal

In partnership with the Davis Projects for Peace and the Sarswati Foundation, AFPN has established a peace library in Arupokhari, a remote village of Gorkha district in Western Nepal, nearby the Sarswati Peace School for 250 war affected students. Organizations like Rotaract/Interact Club of Pashupati-Kathmandu, and Nepal Mother Foundation have landed support in the project. The library serves as a space committed to honoring stories about overcoming challenges, standing strong in the face of oppression, and working for change. For example, the library includes copies of Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl, Martin Luther King's Letter from Birmingham Jail, and Gandhi's The Story of My Experiments with Truth. This has preserved AFPN’s message of hope and inspiration even after the completion of the project in 2012. Currently, the library is equipped with 10 computers, one projector and more than 2000 books.
