Sochai - Social Changemakers and Innovators

Sochai - Social Changemakers and Innovators Sochai believes that the devastating consequences of malnutrition and poor health can be prevented with access to simple and affordable interventions.

Social Changemakers and Innovators (SOCHAI) is a youth-led nonprofit organization, dedicated to improving health, nutrition, and the socio-economic well-being of women, children, and girls in Nepal. SOCHAI has been implementing several low-cost innovative community-based interventions in partnership with the local government, that are contributing to accelerating the progress in the SDGs especially Goal 2 - Zero Hunger which aims to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030 and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women. Additionally, the organization is also working towards SDG 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8. By putting young people at the core of all the interventions, SOCHAI has engaged and empowered several youths across the country who continue to carry forward the vision of building a society where every individual is able to realize and reach their full potential. SOCHAI is recognized nationally and internationally for its community-based efforts. In 2016, SOCHAI won the UNICEF Asia Pacific Youth Innovation Challenge for the idea of innovative ‘Nutribeads bracelet’. Additionally, SOCHAI has also developed another low-tech wearable bracelet – 'Redcycle' which helps educate about menstrual health. SOCHAI has won the global competition of One Young World Lead 2030 Challenge in 2019 and the organization’s work has also been recognized by the UNDP, UNESCO, BBC and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. SOCHAI also works with Provincial Nutrition and Food Security Steering Committee of Province Planning Commission, GoN.

नेपालको आमाको दूध प्रतिस्थापन गर्ने वस्तु (बिक्री-वितरण तथा नियन्त्रण) ऐन, २०४९ (BMS Act), नियमावली २०५१ र IYCF-E (Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies) निर्देशिका अनुसार, विपद्को समयमा परामर्श, मनोसामाजिक सहयोग र पुन:स्तनपान (Relactation) सेवा मार्फत स्तनपानलाई जोगाउनु नै पहिलो प्राथमिकता हो ।

बजारको दूधलाई आम रूपमा (Blanket Distribution) गर्नुभन्दा, स्वास्थ्यकर्मी वा दक्ष विशेषज्ञको प्रत्यक्ष निगरानीमा, पहिचान गरिएका लक्षित शिशुहरूलाई मात्र लक्षित सहयोग (Targeted Support) हुनुपर्छ । बजारको दूध आवश्यकता बुझेर अन्तिम विकल्पको रूपमा मात्र प्रयोग गरिनुपर्छ ।

Darkness does not last forever. A ray of hope will shine again. ❤️

This World Su***de Prevention Day, SOCHAI’s song is a small message of hope, support, and the possibility of life. (Full song available on YouTube)

When things feel difficult, let’s not hesitate to seek help. Asking for help is not a weakness; it is an act of courage.

📞 If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or are in crisis, call 1166.

There is still life left to live.
Never give up. Never let go. 💛

This song is a part of the “Youth focused, Peer delivered, Family engaged Su***de Prevention Package” (YPF-SuPP) project which is focused on adolescent and youth mental well-being at Manahari Rural Municipality, Makwanpur.

अँध्यारो सधैं रहँदैन । आशाको किरण फेरि झुल्किन्छ ।

यस विश्व आत्महत्या रोकथाम दिवसको पुर्वसन्ध्यामा, SOCHAI को यो गीत आशा, साथ र जीवनको सम्भावनाको सानो सन्देश हो। आवश्यक पर्दा सहयोग लिन नहिचकिचाऔँ। मद्दत माग्नु कमजोरी होइन, साहस हो।

📞 आत्महत्याको सोच वा संकटमा हुनुहुन्छ भने ११६६ मा फोन गर्नुहोस्।

जीवन अझै बाँकी छ जिउन ।
Never give up. Never let go. 💛

बाढीका कारण खानेपानी दूषित हुन गई हैजा, झाडापखाला लगायतका पानीजन्य रोगको जोखिम बढ्न सक्छ। यस्तो अवस्थामा आफू र आफ्नो परिवारलाई सुरक्षित राख्न सुरक्षित पानी पिऔँ र सरसफाइका अभ्यास अपनाऔँ।
