Empowering Youth for Stronger Communities!

Support Nepal, in partnership with Plan International Nepal organized a three-day Youth Network Capacity Building Training under the Girls Standing Strong (GSS) project at Tinkoriya, Bidheha Municipality. This training was an opportunity to bring together 24 youth club members from four youth clubs of Kamala and Sahidnagar Municipalities in Dhanusha district who are committed to taking a more active role in their communities, bringing forth positive change.
This training focused on strengthening youths’ understanding of local governance, providing them with practical insights into how local systems function and how they can meaningfully engage with these structures. Throughout the training, participants also explored ways to enhance their planning and coordination skills through interactive discussions and group exercises, enabling them to better design and implement community-based initiatives.
The training involved methods to create a supportive space for participants to build their confidence in advocacy, raise their voices, share their perspectives, and contribute to more inclusive and effective youth engagement in local-level development.
Local government’s participation in this training displayed and affirmed their commitment to supporting the youth club to apply their learning to create meaningful and lasting change in Kamala and Sahidnagar Municipality.

Celebrating the power, courage, and potential of women!

On the occasion of the 116th International Women’s Day, the Girls Standing Strong Project celebrated women’s strength and dignity in Kamala Municipality and Shahidnagar Municipality of Dhanusha district. This celebration brought together stakeholders, mothers’ groups, FCHV, Male engagement group participants, and youth clubs and all the essential stakeholders of the Girls Standing Strong Project. The celebration aimed not only to honor women’s contributions but also to create a platform for dialogue and reflection within the community in creating equality. Male Engagement Group's participation in this celebration highlighted and marked the importance of positive change in men’s attitudes and behaviors toward women within their families and communities. During the program, male participants openly shared how the Male Engagement sessions have influenced their thinking, and behavior encouraging greater respect, support, and shared responsibility toward the women in their homes to eliminate harmful gendered practices.
