INF
International
Board
The INF International Board is the governing body responsible for overseeing the organisation’s strategic direction, decision-making, and its accountability to the Australian Charities & Not-for-Profits Commission.
Most board members visit Nepal at least once a year to strengthen the work of INF International and to foster meaningful connections with stakeholders across the INF Family of organisations.
“The team at INF Nepal has become like a second family to me, offering warmth, support, and kindness. This environment has allowed me to live independently and with dignity, letting my disability fade into the background.”
Kishan Tamang’s story is one of resilience and determination. Born in Sardikhola, Pokhara, he lost his hearing at the age of four, facing a world full of barriers for the deaf. Despite these challenges, his commitment to creating a better life for himself and others led him to key roles that continue to shape his journey. Through his work with INF Nepal and advocacy for the deaf community, Kishan’s life shows how empowerment and inclusivity can transform lives.
The Board:
The INF International Board brings together a diverse and experienced group of individuals, including Nepali professionals, NGO practitioners, and experts in governance and international development. United by a shared commitment to INF’s vision and values, the Board provides strategic oversight and wise counsel to ensure integrity, accountability, and lasting impact across all areas of INF International’s work.

“I can now walk without a stick and work like others. My family and neighbours are happy to see me doing well,”
With his new prosthetic leg, Kal regained the ability to walk and take part in daily activities, including tending to his cattle. “I can now walk without a stick and work like others. My family and neighbours are happy to see me doing well,” he says with a sense of pride. Krishna Rawat, chairperson of the Self-Help Group, adds, “Supporting Kal has brought joy to his family and the community, and it shows that INF Nepal stands by those who need help the most.”
