We believe responsible AI has the power to transform developing nations — equitably, ethically, and sustainably
Welcome!
T4DNepal is a youth-led nonprofit championing responsible AI for Nepal and the developing world. We ensure AI systems are designed, deployed, and governed to respect human rights, promote equity, and serve communities often left behind by technological progress.
"T4DNepal envisions a Nepal where AI-driven development leaves no one behind — where every citizen, regardless of geography, gender, or economic status, benefits from trustworthy, transparent, and inclusive AI systems that uphold human dignity."
Informed Citizens — Responsible AI — Sustainable Communities
T4DNepal's Values
Empathy
Understanding the lived realities of marginalized communities before designing AI solutions. We listen first, build second, and always centre the human experience in technology decisions.
Integrity
Committing to transparency and accountability in every AI system we advocate for — ensuring decisions are explainable, data is handled responsibly, and outcomes can be audited.
Constitutionalism
Using Nepal’s constitutional values and international human rights frameworks as the foundation for AI governance — ensuring technology serves justice, fairness, and democratic participation.
Equity
Ensuring AI does not deepen existing inequalities. We advocate for inclusive datasets, accessible AI tools, and governance structures that give voice to women, rural populations, Indigenous communities, and underrepresented groups.
Building the foundational ecosystem for ethical AI adoption in Nepal — from data infrastructure and digital literacy to local AI compute capacity and open-source AI tools accessible to Nepali developers, municipalities, and civil society organizations.
Equipping Nepal’s youth with skills and critical thinking to develop, use, and govern AI responsibly. Our programs span AI ethics training, hands-on workshops, and fellowships preparing the next generation of responsible AI practitioners.
Working with government, international organizations (UNESCO, UNDP, OECD), and the private sector to shape AI policy that aligns Nepal’s National AI Policy 2025 with global best practices while remaining grounded in local priorities and cultural contexts.
About T4DNepal
Research. Analysis. Publication.
AI is advancing rapidly across the world, but its benefits remain unevenly distributed. Developing countries like Nepal face unique challenges: limited data infrastructure, algorithmic bias trained on foreign datasets, governance gaps, and the risk that AI-driven automation could widen existing socio-economic divides rather than close them. T4DNepal’s research arm investigates how AI is being adopted in Nepal’s public sector, healthcare, agriculture, and education — and whether that adoption is responsible, inclusive, and aligned with citizens’ rights. We ask the hard questions: Who benefits from AI deployment? Whose data is being used, and with what consent? How can local governments adopt AI tools without creating dependency on foreign platforms? Our publications inform policymakers, civil society, and donors with evidence-based analysis on responsible AI governance for the Global South.
Let the Numbers Speak
Our Mission
T4DNepal is a youth-led organization committed to advancing responsible AI governance, ethical AI education, and inclusive AI innovation in Nepal and across the Global South. We empower communities through AI literacy, evidence-based policy advocacy, and partnerships that centre human rights and local priorities in the age of artificial intelligence.
