On the hillside
Producer mobilization
We walk cooperatives through registration, ESG onboarding and cluster charters — turning scattered producers into a single, accountable federation.
§ 02 · About HFMNSection 02
A national ESG-committed
custodian of Nepal's textiles.
Handloom Fabrics Makers of Nepal is a national ESG-committed organization working to revive and develop Nepal's handloom, silk, natural fiber, wool and natural colorant sectors through producer mobilization, training, research, advocacy, sustainable production and market linkage.
The Mandate
A national organization, built from the cluster up.
HFMN was formed to give Nepal's textile sector a single, coordinated national voice — one that reaches from the mulberry hillside to the export desk, and holds the whole chain accountable to the same ESG standards.
We are membership-driven and cluster-anchored. Every programme we run has a farmer, a weaver, a cooperative or a designer with skin in the game.
A national custodian
Farmers, weavers, cooperatives — organised.
HFMN mobilises the people, the crafts and the ecosystems that carry Nepal's textile lineage.

Vision
To make Nepal a globally recognized center for sustainable handloom, silk, natural fiber, wool and naturally coloured textile products through ESG-based rural industrialization.
2.3
Mission
To organize farmers, weavers, artisans, cooperatives, women, youth, experts, designers, local governments and market actors into sustainable textile value chains that create income, preserve heritage, protect nature and build Nepal-origin brands.

In Practice
What HFMN actually does.
Everything HFMN does — from a mulberry seedling to a finished bolt of cloth — is stewarded by a real cooperative, a real weaver and a real ledger. This is a snapshot.

In the workshop
Standards & training
Loom setup, count discipline, yarn testing and finishing — the small, boring things that decide whether a fabric ships or gets rejected.
03
At the market
Route to buyers
We connect cluster output to UTCN retail, national trade shows and export desks so the price the weaver sees reflects the price the buyer pays.
“HFMN did not hand us a subsidy. They handed us a standard, a market and someone to call when the loom broke.
