International Youth Day 2024
Happy International Youth Day!
Today, we celebrate the incredible power, potential, and promise of the youth in Nepal! At Hamro Palo, we are dedicated to empowering young people, particularly in rural and remote villages, to embrace leadership roles and become changemakers within their communities.
We believe that when local youth are equipped with the right tools and opportunities, they can transform their lives and the world around them. Through Education and Empowerment programs like Her Turn and His Chance, we educate and empower young people, enabling them to uplift their peers and serve as role models. Our tailored programs, such as the two-week workshops designed for married and out-of-school girls, specifically address the needs of underserved and underrepresented groups within families and communities.
Additionally, we offer fellowships, skill-based workshops, and leadership awards because we believe providing young women with the skills, knowledge, and support they need is essential for them to advocate for their rights, explore their talents, and lead with confidence.
Our work with youth highlights their remarkable resilience and determination, even in the face of adversity. It also emphasized the necessity of continued investment in building their self-efficacy and providing platforms for them to shine.
On this International Youth Day, let’s reaffirm our commitment to creating a world where every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Together, we can strive for a future where gender equality is not just a goal, but a reality.
