Why the website matters to an NGO
Before a donor, partner organisation or government office works with an NGO, they look it up. The website is where they check that the organisation is registered, active and open about how it works. A clear website can decide whether a proposal is taken seriously.
Pages every NGO website needs
- About us: mission, history, legal registration and affiliation details.
- Our work: programmes by theme and by district, with current and completed projects.
- Impact: results reported honestly, with the period they cover.
- Team and board: names and roles of the people responsible.
- Reports and policies: annual reports, audit reports and key policies as downloads.
- News and stories: updates from the field.
- Get involved: how to donate, volunteer or partner.
- Notices: vacancies, tenders and procurement notices.
- Contact: office address, phone, email and map.
What builds donor trust
- Transparency. Publish reports and financial summaries where they are easy to find.
- Evidence. Use real photographs and dated updates.
- Clarity. Say plainly where you work, with whom and with what funding.
- Activity. A site last updated two years ago raises doubts.
Telling stories responsibly
- Get consent before publishing anyone's photo or story.
- Take special care with children and vulnerable people; avoid full names and exact locations.
- Show people with dignity, as partners in the work.
Useful features
- English and Nepali versions.
- A notice section staff can update without a developer.
- A searchable library of publications.
- A project map by province and district.
- Online donation options, where your registration and banking allow them.
- Light pages that open on slow connections in rural areas.
Security and continuity
Keep the domain and hosting in the organisation's name, not a staff member's. Use HTTPS, strong passwords and regular backups, and hand over logins when staff change. Project staff move on; the website must not move with them.
Neuro AI Nepal builds websites for organisations across Karnali and the rest of Nepal. See web development, pricing and the maintenance checklist, or discuss your organisation's website.
