What does it mean to be young people in Nepal? What can be done to support them?

Nearly half of the world’s population today is young under the age of 25 years old . However, being a young person in these times is challenging. Young people in Nepal and the world in a bigger picture face several issues such as the energy crisis , food scarcity , social violence, political chaos, climate crisis and growing economic inequality. The rise of the digital age also means that we are more informed than ever about world events, and most of the news is disheartening.

The constant influx of negative news and corrupt political leaders demotivates young people and crushes their hope for a better tomorrow. Corruption permeates even basic services such as education and health, while a small group of elitist people accumulates more resources and power, leaving the majority unable to even meet their basic needs. Common people have to face extreme hardships just to survive in today’s times.
