Transforming Communities Through Art, Education & Storytelling

As Chairperson of the Gehendra Dhimal Foundation, Gautam Dhimal carries forward the legacy of his late father, Gehendra Dhimal, a pioneer who believed in the power of creativity to transform lives. The Foundation stands as a bridge between art, activism, education, and social development—placing culture and creativity at the heart of social impact.

The Foundation leads initiatives that empower marginalized communities, uplift youth, and preserve cultural heritage. From scholarships for underprivileged students to creative education programs, from mental health awareness campaigns to art therapy workshops, every project is designed to spark resilience, dignity, and opportunity.

Through visual storytelling and documentary photography, the Foundation highlights pressing global issues such as climate change, gender equity, refugee rights, indigenous knowledge systems, and cultural preservation—ensuring these stories reach donors, policymakers, and the international community.

What We Do:

  • Scholarships and training programs for students in rural and marginalized communities

  • Partnerships with NGOs, INGOs, and UN agencies to strengthen education and development initiatives

  • Art therapy and creative education workshops for youth, women, and vulnerable groups

  • Climate storytelling and awareness projects in collaboration with environmental organizations

  • Visual campaigns that advocate for gender equality, mental health, cultural preservation, and social justice

The Foundation’s work is supported through collaborations with schools, international donors, and social impact partners across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Its programs create spaces where creativity is not just a profession—but a tool for empowerment and change.

Why It Matters:
At its core, the Gehendra Dhimal Foundation believes that art has the power to inspire, educate, and transform societies. Every initiative under Gautam Dhimal’s leadership is rooted in purpose and powered by creative culture.

For global donors, NGOs, universities, cultural institutions, and CSR leaders seeking high-impact partnerships in Nepal and South Asia, the Foundation offers transparency, collaboration, and a legacy of trust.
