It started in August 2010 when we (some of us like-minded moms) residing in the San Francisco Bay Area came together to provide children to have complete cultural experience and value Nepali language and tradition. We wanted our children to learn Nepali language and culture so that our children will respect and know their Nepali roots.

Air pollution due to cooking on an inefficient stove and smoke from simple kerosene
wick lamp is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Nepal.
Studies conducted in Nepal have documented chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),

kerosene wick lamp. Therefore, there is a need to expand clean cooking and lighting
solutions to reduce future health problems in Nepal.
