[[Jainism in Nepal|Jainism]] is practiced by a small community. A Jain temple is present in Gyaneshwar, where Jains practice their faith. According to the records of the [[Spiritual Assembly]] of the Baháʼís of Nepal, there are approximately 300 followers of the [[Baháʼí Faith]] in Kathmandu valley. They have a national office in Shantinagar, Baneshwor. The Baháʼís also have classes for children at the National Centre and other localities in Kathmandu. In Kathmandu alone there are about 170 Christian churches.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Basnet |first=Lakshman |date=2021-02-08 |title=All About Christianity in Nepal with Church List |url=https://lakshmanbasnet.com/nepal/churches-list-christianity-nepal/ |access-date=2023-04-06 |website=lakshmanbasnet.com |language=en-AU |archive-date=6 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230406115246/https://lakshmanbasnet.com/nepal/churches-list-christianity-nepal/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Christian missionary hospitals, welfare organizations, and schools are also operating. Nepali citizens who served as soldiers in Indian and British armies, who had converted to Christianity while in service, on return to Nepal continue to practice their religion. They have contributed to the spread of Christianity and the building of churches in Nepal and in Kathmandu, in particular.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://across.co.nz/NepalChurches.html |title=Churches in Nepal |publisher=Across |access-date=20 December 2009 |archive-date=23 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100523112534/http://across.co.nz/NepalChurches.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name= "Christ">{{cite web |url=https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2004/35518.htm |title=Diplomacy in Action |access-date=20 December 2009 |publisher=[[US Department of State]] |archive-date=2 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200802193417/https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2004/35518.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>
