About YNPD
Empowering youth and communities in Mahottari through leadership, peacebuilding, and sustainable development.
How YNPD Began
Youth Network for Peace and Development (YNPD) was formally established in 2066 B.S. (2009) as a youth-led, non-political, and non-profit organization serving as a collective platform for young people in Mahottari district.
Initially formed in 2064 B.S. through the coordination of five youth clubs from different Village Development Committees (VDCs), YNPD was formally established with the active collaboration of seven youth clubs representing seven VDCs. Since then, YNPD has been a common forum for youth to discuss challenges, identify sustainable solutions, and implement projects that address the pressing needs of young people and their communities.
The organization focuses on promoting youth leadership, peacebuilding, social development, and community empowerment by engaging young people in constructive dialogue, skills training, and innovative initiatives. By connecting multiple youth clubs under one umbrella, YNPD amplifies youth voices, ensuring their concerns are heard and translated into action.
