Our Story
Driven by love,
sustained by action.
AutismCare Nepal Society (ACNS) was founded on 2nd April 2008 on the occasion of the World Autism Awareness Day.
It is a non-governmental, non-profit making, non-political NGO registered in District Administration Office and affiliated to the Social Welfare Council. ACNS is also an Income-tax exempt organization under the Income Tax Act 2058 Clause 2 (DHA) recognized by the Internal Revenue Department of Nepal.
The organization's initial goal was to raise awareness and provide support to parents and caretakers. With our growth, ACNS realized a critical need for a center that would cater to the needs of families based in Kathmandu and other parts of Nepal.
Consequently, ACNS expanded its services to raising awareness, advocacy, basic therapy services, and inclusive education, while developing expertise in the field of autism. We are keen to work with organizations worldwide for mutual sharing of knowledge, information, and resources.
ACNS is determined to raise awareness, to educate, and to act for the rights of Persons with Autism throughout Nepal. It's made possible by years of untiring efforts and recognition by government stakeholders and national/international donors.
