Who Are We


We are a group of families, photographers, writers, social activists, all linked by the same cause of demanding truth and justice for those families who have a relative that was disappeared during the conflict.

We are  residing in Nepal, belonging to different nationalities, mainly Nepali.

Sitting around a table first with a hazy plan how to give voice to the unheard families, we were finally introduced to some of them and since we have been visiting them and listening to their stories. We decided to start working with them, taking pictures, filming and having a vision of how their current life has been affected by the loss of their beloved.

Getting to know their stories the hazy plan found it’s home in a concrete project which is to be understood as a not  politically affiliated initiative but as a joint action in raising the voice of some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people of Nepal.


Families Representatives, Activist, Social Mobilisers

Each of us with his/her own creativity and expertise will try to give it’s support in starting up a fund and awareness raising campaign which will have different phases with specific goals. Throughout the entire project mothers, wives, sons and daughters of missing persons will be involved through a participatory approach. Hopefully they will have a chance to stand up for their rights, united in their emotional struggle.

We need your help to raise funds but also awareness about what still is a forgotten and unresolved issue in the country of Nepal. Most of the families, are from poor rural areas and they hardly have been supported throughout the conflict and it’s aftermath.
We need your help to allow the start up of a platform which will then give more visibility to the families in expressing their demands, their feelings and opinions. 


A candle for the Disappeared, families gathering
An opportunity to give tools and space to the families to bring forward their demand for truth and justice.
