According to their own press relsease, the registration of the CFPA office is not only a significant step forward for the internationalization of the organization but also a “meaningful exploration” for Chinese NGOs’ overseas aid. It also means that CFPA will be involved in the reconstruction efforts in Nepal for the near future. Over the following five years, the CFPA say they will give at least 100,000 US dollars per year to reconstruction efforts in Nepal. The foundation promises that they will abide by four principles when operating in Nepal: demand-driven, cooperation, sustainability, and sharing.
