About Us
NASO CA
NASO Community is a member-based organization originally founded and registered in Maryland, USA. We have since expanded to establish chapters in various states across the United States, including our active California Chapter. Since its inception, NASO has focused on bringing Nepalese American people onto platforms through various media, allowing them to discuss issues of concern both in the USA and in Nepal. Our key interventions include uniting the Nepalese diaspora community, engaging them in human rights and social justice movements, and contributing to the fight against caste and descent-based discrimination globally.
