About Us

NeSA (Nepalese Students in Ajou) is a non-profit community formed by Nepalese students at Ajou University.
Our mission is to welcome and support new students, organize cultural and social events, and promote the preservation of Nepali culture in Korea.
We also focus on protecting students by standing against scams, bullying, and sexual harassment, while offering counseling and emotional support when needed.
On the brighter side, we guide students toward career and job opportunities, provide academic assistance during challenging times, and create a warm and welcoming environment that genuinely feels like a home away from Nepal.
