Preservation of Environment and Social Welfare of Nepal (PESWAN) is implementing Resilience Future: Ending Child Marriage in Nepal Project for approximately 2 years in Bhimdatta and Dodhara Chadani Municipality of Kanchanpur districts with Partnership of Plan International Nepal. Resilient Future: Ending Child Marriage Project focuses on enabling children, adolescents, and youth—especially girls and those from marginalized groups—to understand the connection between climate change and harmful practices such as child, early, and forced marriage (CEFM). The project raises awareness about gender-based vulnerabilities to climate change, its impacts on the environment, livelihoods, and health, and the correlation with CEFM.
