Profile

The Himalayan Society for Youth and Women Empowerment (HSYWE) was established in 2006 with the support of Stichting Vluchteling and the Brouwer Fund in The Netherlands. Guided by a committed group of board members, HSYWE is dedicated to promoting social responsibility and leadership within Himalayan and trans-Himalayan communities in Nepal. We address the educational, vocational, linguistic, cultural, and livelihood needs of these communities, while also focusing on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI).

Vision:

HSYWE is a leading, need-driven organization facilitating the creation of competent professionals (in particular youth and women) oriented towards the sustainable development of Himalayan and Trans-Himalayan societies, including the preservation of Himalayan cultural heritage.

Mission:

To uplift and empower the youth and women of Himalayan and trans-Himalayan communities in Nepal.

Our Goals:

By providing Himalayan and trans-Himalayan communities with awareness programs, language initiatives, need based scholarship opportunities, and livelihood support, HSYWE aims to:

  • Foster confidence and economic self-reliance.
  • Cultivate leaders and professionals. 
  • Promote social upliftment and uphold cherished cultural values.
  • Prevent Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and advocate for Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI).

HSYWE aims to empower women and youth from these underprivileged areas ensuring opportunities are provided to them, such that they are able to take advantage of it to acquire a better future for themselves.
