🌱 Reviewing Together, Planning Ahead!
On 6–7 June, partners and stakeholders of Shahid Lakhan Rural Municipality, Gorkha, came together to review the Inclusive Early Childhood Development (IECD) Plan — a roadmap first developed in 2023 to mainstream Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) across all departments and sections of the municipality.
Over the two days, participants reflected on the progress made so far, celebrated key achievements, discussed challenges, and worked together to set new milestones for the next five years.
The energy in the room said it all — everyone came ready to engage, share insights, and contribute actively to making ECED a shared priority across the whole municipality. 💪
This kind of collaboration between government and partners is exactly what ensures lasting impact for young children long after a project ends.

She walked into a new school, a new hostel, and an uncertain future. She walked out stronger than anyone expected. 💪
Bindu (name changed) is a grade 10 student from the Chepang community who has been living away from home since grade 6 — navigating new surroundings, new peers, and challenges.
With support from Chhori and the project "Bright Futures - Empowering Chepang Girls", things began to change. 🌱
✅ Life skills and personal development training
✅ Menstrual health and hygiene education
✅ Counseling and psychosocial support
✅ Tuition assistance to keep her education on track
Today, Bindu is not just surviving — she is one of the top students in her school. She has found her confidence, her voice, and her footing.
This is what change looks like when a girl is given a safe space and the right support. 🏠📚

🧵 Meet Ankita — 16, determined, and already turning waste into opportunity.
Growing up in Kendragoria village with her mother as the sole breadwinner, Ankita carries responsibilities far beyond her years. But instead of stepping back, she stepped forward — joining the GYVE programme to build skills that could change her future.
Today, she's learning tailoring. She's teaching her peers. And she's upcycling old jeans into shopping bags — proof that a green economy can start with a needle, thread, and a bold idea. 🌿

🌿 Finding lightness through body & mind
As part of the project "Bright Futures, Empowering Chepang Girls", the girls took part in powerful psycho-education sessions focused on body awareness and stress release — and the impact was beautiful to witness.
Through movement and shaking exercises to release physical tension, reflective writing to name and acknowledge their emotions, and the symbolic act of burning those written thoughts, the participants found a meaningful way to let go.
Art-based activities rounded out the experience, giving them another channel to express what words sometimes can't.
The result? Girls who felt emotionally lighter, happier, and freed from the weight of negative thoughts and stress. 💛

🌍 We went Zero Waste — and it was a week to remember.

In the last week of March, all our training centres of the GYVE project celebrated International Zero Waste Day with events built around one powerful idea: Waste to Best.
♻ Innovation Challenge — Students designed and built functional or artistic creations using only recycled and discarded materials, with projects tied to their own trade or skill.
📣 Community Outreach Rally — Our students and staff took to the streets, engaging local residents and businesses on the importance of source segregation — separating dry and wet waste right at the point of disposal. They carried placards and, where possible, wore or displayed their own "Waste to Best" creations.

Waste isn't the end — it's the beginning. 💚
