About BnD Foundation

Bhuminanda and Dhaulidevi Timilsena were born in the early 1930s in Kuika, a remote village in Nepal's Achham district, where life was a daily battle for survival. Scarcity shaped every aspect of their lives, with even water requiring a grueling 30- minute walk to fetch a single gallon. Despite these hardships, they nurtured a powerful hope for a brighter future for their children, believing in opportunities they themselves never knew. Driven by this hope, Bhuminanda and Dhaulidevi endured the heartbreak of losing five of their eleven children. Yet, their determination remained unbroken. In the early 1980s, they made a courageous move to Byabasthitnagar in Kailali, where access to schools allowed their children to pursue an education despite long journeys. Their son, Taptaraj, walked up to two hours each way to attend secondary school, embodying the family's commitment to learning-a commitment that has become their enduring legacy. Today, the Bhuminanda Dhaulidevi Foundation honors their legacy, focusing on uplifting disadvantaged communities in Nepal through education, healthcare, and food security. The foundation reflects their values of resilience, compassion, and the pursuit of opportunity, lighting the way for future generations to rise above challenges and reach for a brighter tomorrow. Their story is a beacon of hope, inspiring others to dream beyond limitations.
