TOR For Youth Champions

YUWA is established in 2009 which is a registered, a not-for-profit, purely youth-run and youth led organization working to promote youth participation through empowerment and advocacy.

The initial focus was to develop leadership skills of involved youths or to get trained as a youth activist and advocate for change, thus resulting into a wide and diverse array of knowledge, skills, and experience in this sector. It led to the realization of the seriousness of youth issues and the need to act, which, finally took the shape of YUWA. The word “YUWA” has its roots in the Nepali language referring to youths.
