About Restless Development

At the heart of Restless Development’s work is a core belief in Youth Power- the collective ability of young people to drive meaningful change and tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. As a global nonprofit agency, we train, mentor, and connect young leaders across the globe to take action and lead solutions. Our Global Strategy provides a roadmap to 2030, guiding impactful work across hubs in India, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Since 1991, Restless Development Nepal has amplified the voices of young people from diverse caste, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. We support them in accessing comprehensive sexuality education, claiming their rights, and challenging harmful practices such as gender-based violence, child marriage, and chhaupadi.
