Nepalis living abroad have been urged to contribute to Nepal’s Physical Infrastructure Reconstruction Fund, established to rebuild government structures destroyed during the recent GenZ Movement protests.

Nepal’s embassies and missions abroad have appealed to Nepalis overseas to extend financial support to the fund. The protests on Sept 8–9 led to arson and vandalism targeting major government institutions, including Singhadurbar, the Parliament building, the Prime Minister’s residence, the President’s Office, courts, police stations, and several other state structures. Many offices were completely destroyed in the violence.

To address the damage, the Cabinet meeting on Sept 21 issued the Infrastructure Reconstruction Committee (Formation) Order 2082 and established a reconstruction fund under the Ministry of Finance. The ministry has requested both domestic and overseas Nepalis to contribute.

The Nepali Embassy in Qatar has issued a public notice calling for contributions, highlighting that the fund will be used for reconstruction, economic recovery, and relief programs. Nepali missions in Iran, Kuwait, Israel, and Cyprus have made similar appeals through social media and official channels, urging Nepalis and Non-Resident Nepalis (NRNs) to take part in the national rebuilding campaign.

Meanwhile, NRN communities abroad have also begun organizing fundraising programs. The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) has stressed that it is both a responsibility and a duty to contribute during the country’s crisis. NRNA President Mahesh Kumar Shrestha, in a statement, noted that the association has consistently supported Nepal during past disasters such as earthquakes and floods, and called on all NRNs worldwide to contribute to the reconstruction campaign.

The contributions, according to the NRNA, will help restore administrative services, ensure security, and support long-term national rebuilding efforts.
