introducing the newest initiative at Kailash Home

While women and girls make up over half the global population, their circumstances in places around the world is still far from equitable to that of their male counterparts. In Nepal, women and girls are still far less likely to be invested in both in terms of educational and governmental resources, and longstanding taboos and traditions often leave them in disadvantageous or even overtly dangerous circumstances. As Nepal, and the rest of the world, strive for gender equality, Himalayan Youth Foundation in partnership with HCF and Mountaineers for the Himalayas Foundation are working to do our part through a robust educational and community initiative at Kailash Home. Led by female staff member and Hostel in Charge Tsering Dolkar Gurung, Girl1 activities span a wide variety of relevant topics with Nepali and global female leaders and role models collaborating to share their expertise and experiences.
