Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• World Vision International Nepal: World Vision Nepal operates as a large international NGO focused on child welfare, education, and community development across Nepal. While much larger and more institutional, it shares RTN's vertical focus on education infrastructure and underprivileged children. Useful as a benchmarking peer for scale, governance, and impact reporting expectations.
• Rotary International (Nepal): Rotary International is a global service organization with active presence in Nepal through District 3292, which has a formal MOU with Round Table Nepal to construct 25 toilet blocks. While broader in scope and older than RTN, Rotary operates a similar membership-driven model of community service projects, including education and health infrastructure, making it a directly comparable civic-service peer.
• Save the Children (Nepal): Save the Children Nepal is a major international NGO focused on children's education, health, and protection. It shares RTN's focus on underprivileged children and educational infrastructure, but operates at a much larger institutional scale with paid staff, international funding, and global programs. Comparable in mission, very different in structure.
• Lions Clubs International (Nepal): Lions Clubs International operates a parallel global fellowship model of adult service clubs with strong Nepal presence. Both organizations emphasize community service project portfolios (health, education, environment) and rely on member dues and fundraising for execution. Lions is a broader incumbent with a comparable ethos to RTN's fellowship-based service model.
• UNICEF Nepal: UNICEF Nepal operates nationally on children's education, health, and welfare, with significant overlap in educational program goals. While UNICEF is a UN agency with vastly larger institutional resources, the comparable mission (educational access for underprivileged children) and Nepal geographic focus make it a relevant peer for benchmarking non-profit education impact.

Emerging players

• Habitat for Humanity Nepal: Habitat for Humanity Nepal is a non-profit focused on housing and infrastructure for underprivileged communities. While focused on housing rather than schools, it shares RTN's model of physical infrastructure project execution for vulnerable populations and operates with similar volunteer-driven and donor-funded mechanics in Nepal.
• Teach For Nepal: Teach For Nepal is a growing non-profit focused on educational equity and teacher development in underserved Nepali schools. It overlaps with RTN's Train The Teacher and Educate A Child programs in mission and approach, though operates as a more recent and programmatic-focused NGO rather than a broad civic-service organization.

Direct peers

• Round Table India: Round Table India is the parent affiliate of Round Table Nepal within the global Round Table International movement. Both organizations share the same membership model (men aged 18-40), motto ('Adopt, Adapt, Improve'), and core mandate of school construction and community service. RT India is the most directly comparable entity given structural and operational alignment.
• LEAD Nepal (Ladies' Circle Nepal): Ladies' Circle Nepal (LCN) is the female counterpart of Round Table Nepal within the same international movement. With shared mission, age-capped membership (18-40), and project portfolio focused on education and community service, LCN is structurally and operationally the most direct peer to RTN, including joint convening of events like the IGNITE National Leadership Conclave.
• Junior Chamber International (JCI Nepal): JCI is a global federation of young professionals aged 18-40 focused on leadership development and community impact. JCI Nepal operates with a similar age-capped membership model and has overlapping programming in education, health, and environmental initiatives. Structurally very close to Round Table Nepal's model.
