Before Mates From Himalayas (MFH) was officially established, our founding executive team began building the relationships that would shape our journey.
It started with a community. During a Dashain (festival in Nepal) celebration hosted by Nepali Students at Western Sydney (NSWS), the NSW Premier Hon. Christopher John Minns and Multiculture Minister Hon. Stephen Kamper sent an exclusive ten minute video message to extend their warm wishes to our Nepali community. That heartfelt gesture opened a door.
Our executive team later met both the Premier and the Minister in person, sharing MFH’s vision to create a not for profit organisation dedicated to supporting culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities across Mental Health, Gambling Harm Prevention, and Water Safety. Driven by our commitment to engage, educate, and empower, both the Premier and Minister welcomed our plans with genuine enthusiasm and pledged their support.
This milestone marks a significant step forward in turning our vision into action. With the support of the NSW State Government, MFH is committed to build a meaningful and lasting partnership that ensures no community is left behind. Together, we can reach further, serve deeper, and create real, lasting change for those who need it the most.
Today, MFH is committed to turning that vision into real, lasting impact; working alongside the NSW State Government to ensure no community is left behind. Our mission is simple but powerful: to engage, educate, and empower.
Because when communities are supported, they don’t just survive; they flourish.
And this is only the beginning.
Engage, Educate, Empower
