Sonam Tshreing Sherpa
Chairman
I was once lost in substance abuse. I know what it means to hit rock bottom, to feel hopeless, and to believe that change is impossible. But recovery changed everything. Today, as Chairman of Drug Free Society Nepal, I stand as proof that transformation is possible. The mission now is clear: to help others find the strength to rise—because if it was possible for me, it’s possible for anyone.
Suman Thapa
Vice-Chairman
Drug Free Society Nepal was established with a clear purpose: to raise awareness, prevent substance abuse, and support those affected by it. Since its founding, the organization has worked closely with communities, youth, and local leaders. Together, they promote healthy lifestyles and build a safer, drug-free Nepal through education, outreach, and rehabilitation programs.

I believe substance abuse harms not only the individual but also their family and society. Therefore, my goal is to help eradicate this issue and support a healthier future for everyone.
