We live in an open world where competition is stiff and survival is tough. In this fast paced generation, our cultures are at the brink of extinction and could well be history soon. Young minds are lost in translation before they could realize their potential. This can and has to be changed but the initiative has to be taken by someone.
The Himalayan Society for Youth and Women Empowerment (HSYWE) has taken that initiative with the support of STICHTING VLUCHTELING and the Brouwer Fund- The Netherlands since 2007 and expects to produce impact on at least four different sections:
- Preserve the rich cultural heritage and unique identity.
- Provide educational scholarship for financially disadvantaged youths.
- Enhance personal and community development.
- Prepare the youth for adulthood and issues they may face as an adult.
The HSYWE strives to preserve tradition while equipping its members with the skills needed to thrive in the modern world. Although HSYWE serves primarily disadvantaged youth and women, its doors are open to all. So come and be part of a project aimed at empowering women and instilling self-confidence in their own inherent skills.
The organization is spearheaded by a dedicated group of Board Members and Advisory Committee. This team of socially responsible, concerned leaders is devoted to addressing the need for higher educational opportunities, vocational training, language skills, employment and cultural preservation among Nepal’s Himalayan and trans Himalayan communities. The services provided by the HSYWE will ultimately build confidence, stimulate economic self-reliance, cultivate leaders and professionals, foster social uplift and uphold a treasured culture.
