Our Mission

The History Of NAF (Then FNA) Date Back To 1992, When A Handful Nepalese Living In Florida Gathered In Gainesville And Embarked Upon A Journey Of Unknown That Would Continue For Good Till Eternity. However, 27 Years Down The Lane, The Association Have Grown Up Joining With Florida Association Of Nepali Societies (FANS) To Be One Of The Most Coveted And Responsible Organizations Working For The Betterment Of Nepalese Community In Florida And Beyond.

We Have Never Been Geographically Bound And Our Philanthropic Activities Has Extended Beyond Florida To Nepal, The Land Where All Of Us Are Emotionally Rooted. We Have Always Been A Forerunner In Social Activities And Would Like To Thank All The Members Who Have Been Working In The Spirit Of The Organization All Throughout.

Namaskar: Happy New Year, 2079! We wish you a happy new year and a loving farewell to the past, as well as success in the future and wonderful memories. Additionally, I’d want to thank everyone for their confidence in and support of the Nepalese Association of Florida (NAF). NAF was able to perform a third outdoor program in April to celebrate Nepal New Year 2079 in Tampa thanks to the beginning of the Nepali New Year. Many members of the Nepali community from various parts of Florida attend the event. Our current team members are trying to provide more community-focused programs and enhance the Nepalese community in Florida, carrying on the association’s tradition of working with our community members.
