🙏 Excited to launch a special project with Mithila artists from Janakpur! Soon, the Embassy wall in Bishalnagar will come alive with traditional artistry and powerful stories. The art carries heritage—and vital income and independence for the women. Follow the artwork unfold!

Embassy wall has transformed into stunning #MithilaArt—but before the final reveal, let’s meet the fantastic artists. For them, the art means income, independence and cultural heritage. “It’s a different kind of wealth—we must preserve it”, says Master Artist Madhumala Mandal.

🌈 On #IDAHOBIT2025, we stand with LGBTIQ+ communities in Nepal and beyond. 81% face violence in Nepal. But when communities come together, they protect and uplift. Together, we can build a fairer Nepal. Finland in Nepal

We visited Jajarkot and Rukum West, where the 2023 earthquake hit schools hard. In response, Finland and UNICEF Nepal set up temporary classrooms to ensure continued learning. Teachers received #EducationInEmergencies training and have created engaging and safe learning spaces.
