UPDATE -- August 27: Since we shared this post, devastating floods have struck communities along the Nepal-Tibet border, including Nuwakot District, where this initiative operates. We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and widespread destruction. Our thoughts are with everyone affected, those awaiting news of loved ones, and the first responders working under extraordinarily difficult conditions. We will be connecting with our partners to understand the impact on communities and how best to support them.

Youth in Nepal are using social media to get people moving! 📱
PATH is partnering with the International Olympic Committee and the World Health Organization (WHO) to bring health-enhancing sport into everyday life. The Initiative (spanning Ghana, Tanzania, Vietnam, Nepal, Peru, and India) has supported more than 1.4 million people in becoming more active, trained 7,000+ health workers to lead these programs, and 700+ local organizations to integrate sport and movement into their services.
Awareness messages about sport and health have reached 6 million people and counting, and in Nepal, youth took to social media to spread the message. PATH and Health Concern partnered with Nepal’s National Health Education Information and Communication Centre (NHEICC) to launch a TikTok competition promoting physical activity, sport, and healthy lifestyles.
The response? 50 creative videos from across Nepal!
Representatives from the NHEICC and the Nepal Olympic Committee selected five winners for their creativity and ability to encourage others to get moving. The winners were celebrated during a special ceremony on International Olympic Day.
📽️Now, we’re excited to share one of the winning videos with you. ⬇️
It’s one example of a growing movement to make physical activity part of everyday life in .
