NECOS Inc, established in 2011, is a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to preserve and foster the cultural, traditional, and historical heritage of Nepalese origin. NECOS Inc also strives to understand and respect other cultural communities in order to coexist in a friendly and cohesive society in Canada.
The overall mission of the organization is to provide support for newcomers, refugees, youth, and children at-risk and families to integrate into Saskatoon. The youth, children, and elderly, in particular, face greater barriers to integrating into Canada because of a new language, system, culture, and way of life.
NECOS Inc organizes several programs on community interaction, welfare events, sports, Nepalese language school, cultural, festivals, etc. to support the community and help bring people together, both emotionally and physically. NECOS Inc is actively involved in providing consultancy, translation, cultural education, and settlement services directly and in partnership with other organizations.
