    World Red Cross Day

    Background:

    World Red Cross Day is observed on May 8 every year to commemorate the birth anniversary of Henry Dunant, the founder of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the recipient of the first Nobel Peace Prize. The day aims to raise awareness about the humanitarian work carried out by the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies around the world, and to celebrate the contributions of its volunteers and staff.

    In the past, the themes have focused on issues such as health, disaster management, and the role of youth in promoting humanitarian values. The day is usually marked by events and activities organized by the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, including blood donation drives, health camps, and emergency response simulations.


    Nepal Red cross society

    The Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) is a humanitarian organization that operates in Nepal. It was established in 1963 and has since been providing assistance to those affected by disasters, conflicts, and other emergencies in the country.

    NRCS is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which is the world's largest humanitarian network. It works in close collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and other national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies to provide assistance to those in need.


    NRCS's main activities include disaster management, health promotion, blood transfusion services, and community-based programs. It also provides assistance in times of conflicts, including support to victims of violence and those separated from their families.


    The Nepal Red Cross Society has played a significant role in responding to major disasters in the country, including the 2015 earthquake that caused widespread devastation. The organization provided emergency relief, medical assistance, and support to affected communities in the aftermath of the disaster. Overall, the Nepal Red Cross Society continues to play a crucial role in promoting humanitarian values and providing assistance to those in need in Nepal.

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year. Later on, to cater to the people who couldn’t type in Nepali using fonts like Preeti, Ganesh and even Nepali Unicode, we built nepali mobile keyboard called Hamro Nepali keyboard.
