NASeA Mourns the Passing of Mr. Arjun Prasad Mainali

Nepalese Association of Southeast America (NASeA) is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Mr. Arjun Prasad Mainali, founder President of Blood Donors of America.

Mr. Mainali’s selfless actions over 30 years resulted in 205 donations, touching 615 lives, inspiring 15,000 donors, and educating 200,000 people globally about the vital importance of donating blood. His efforts were recognized worldwide, earning him significant accolades, including ‘World Blood Donor Arjun Mainali Day’ in Oyster Bay, New York. Beyond his global impact, Arjun was a beloved husband, father and an inspiration for our community.

NASeA extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Arjun Prasad Mainali. He will be dearly missed, and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.

The Greater Charlotte Nepalese Association has launched a fundraiser to support his family with funeral costs and further assistance during this difficult time. We invite your contributions to honor Arjun’s legacy and provide solace to his loved ones.
