Panchtara Yuwa Samrakshak Manch (PTYSM) is a non-profit, non-governmental humanitarian and development organization registered with the District Administration Office, Jajarkot and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council of Nepal. Established in 1997, PTYSM is led by committed young development professionals and social workers with extensive experience in rural development and community-based initiatives.

PTYSM operates across Karnali Province with programmatic focus on food security and nutrition, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), livelihoods, education, disaster risk reduction (DRR), humanitarian response, protection, and disability inclusion.

In partnership with Save the Children International, PTYSM is currently implementing the SAHAYATRA-III and Action Adolescent Maternal Newborn Health (aMNH) projects in Chhedagad Municipality of Jajarkot District. The SAHAYATRA-III Project is an integrated initiative focusing on education, child protection, child rights governance, sexual and reproductive health rights, and climate change and green jobs. The project primarily aims to improve the quality of education, protection, and child rights for the most deprived and marginalized children.
