Light for Better Life- an overview of our newly planned project

Youth for Better Nepal ( a non-profit organization affiliated to the Social Welfare Council, Nepal and pursuant to section 13 of the Social Welfare Act, 1992.) puts forward the proposition to provide a total of 50 Solar Panels to the villagers of Chuga village in Mugu district. 

Mugu is one of the most remote and undeveloped districts of mid-western Nepal. Most of Mugu is ragged lands, craggy hills and mountains. A hint of modern development can be seen in Gamagadhi: the district headquarters which was recently touched by the only road in the district. Southern Mugu is relatively green and has arable soil, but like most parts of the Mugu, nothing grows in the Himalayas. Known for Rara Lake -the largest lake of the country- most of Mugu has abundant natural beauties. However, the human socio-economic condition of this district is the worst among others. Many villages lack health care centers and schools. Sick people being carried in dokos are a common sight in villages. Little children walk hours to reach school. And the household spend all day in the field, carrying out all of the work manually even though the world has leaped bounds in agricultural technology. 

The targeted area of our project is Pina-04, Chuga, which takes about four hours to reach by foot from Gamgadhi. There are about 500 people in this village dominated by Dalits: a marginalized community due to the so-called category of low-castes. People in this area do not have the energy or resources for high expectations and goals in their life. They are simply struggling to make their ends meet. They do not have any income sources and from an early age young children are expected by their families to help in domestic works. As an alternative, youth are compelled to do odd jobs in India. This trend has left villages with only the elderly and children. 

Being an independent organization, the only source of income for these projects are our supporters and well wishers, who also care for the well-being of the general people. Hence, we would be extremely grateful if you provided us with any financial or technical help possible, for the charitable activities we intend to conduct.

Feel free to contact us for further details.

Digital Literacy Project

Digital Literacy project and E-library establishment at Rukum. 

Even though there was a system of Computer Education at Shree Mahakali Higher Secondary School in Sisnekhola of Rukum, which hosted 500 students from various marginalized groups and poor families, before we established our project, it remained limited only to theory lessons. Since the students were lagging behind in terms of facilities related to technology, we believed that our venture in making positive progress would be helpful in improving the background of the school as well. Therefore, we believed that our endeavor to make the school resourceful for the benefit of the students would prove to be fruitful and today, we feel proud to say that it did.

We were able to establish an well equipped IT lab comprising of 10 computers in Shree Mahakali Secondary School located in Rukum district. The huge success of Digital Literacy Project-Rukum has motivated us to unite again and work to uplift poor and marginalised group. Our next mission is to install solar panels in a very remote village of Mid-western Nepal (Chuga, Mugu). We have named it as "Light for the Better Life".

Here are some of the photos of our past project.
