“Be Little and Serve the Little”
- Nepal Little Flower Society
The Nepal Little Flower Society (NLFS) is a part of the CST Congregation of Gorakhpur-Nepal Province, which was founded on 19 March 1931 under the patronage of St. Therese of Lisieux. It has since grown into four Provinces, comprising 415 Priests and approximately 250 Seminarians. In 1984, the Diocese of Gorakhpur was established and entrusted to the CST Fathers for carrying out missionary activities in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. For the past 52 years, the CST Fathers have been devoted to spreading values such as Love, Justice, Equity, and Cooperation. Initially focused on Uttar Pradesh, their work later extended to Bihar, Nepal, and Tanzania.
The organization's emphasis lies in inclusive development and empowering the poor and disadvantaged. In 1993, the Little Flower Province extended its missionary activities to Nepal by establishing the Little Flower School in Narayangarh. To facilitate the mission work in Nepal, a separate society named Nepal Little Flower Society (NLFS) was formed in 1994 and duly registered under Nepal's society registration act. Presently, the NLFS has five priests from the Little Flower Province and three CST priests from St. Joseph Province (Kerala) working in Nepal.

This project is being implemented in Raksirang Rural Municipality, Ward No. 7, covering 592 families. To facilitate the implementation, 23 groups of 20-25 people have been formed in all areas. Additionally, 14 community nurseries have been established to cater to 40 families by each nursery, and it is operated by a single person from the community. The community nursery receives assistance in the form of essential materials, local vegetables, fruits, and traditional rootcrop seeds to ensure its smooth functioning.
