The founding of PDRC International (PDRCi) was preceded by an informal support group that continued the work of PDRC Nepal in the United States. For 5 years, this informal group helped PDRC Nepal's work on a case-by-case basis. Upon realizing that their work could be more impactful on a larger scale, the informal group registered as an official organization in 2016 that served the greater good instead of solely individual cases, thus forming PDRCi. What started as an extension of PDRC Nepal's mission in the US evolved to become an official 501(c)(3) non-profit made up of Nepalese professionals that focuses on bringing equitable education to underserved and immigrant communities in the United States.
