SAATH
NGO / INGO / Development Projects

SAATH (Social Service, Awareness raising and Advocacy for Tranquility and Humanity) is a Social Work organization working together with different individuals, groups and organizations in order to provide necessary support for people in need. SAATH in Nepali also means “Support” and “Togetherness”. SAATH believes that youth leadership and youth spirit generate positive vibes for innovation, entrepreneurship and socio- economic transformation.

The idea of SAATH started when eleven students with educational background in social work started a small project to support women and children living with HIV & AIDS. The success of the project motivated these students to continue working for social change. The group continued to work in different fields as a voluntary-based organization with youth-based projects in issues related to marginalized communities. This has included issues related to HIV and AIDS, Drug Use, Child Rights, LGBTI and elderly.

From 2012, SAATH took the next step. We then decided to direct our focus on education, socialization, capacity building and livelihood of girls and children who belong to marginalized communities. In addition, our approach of working also includes creating awareness & advocacy through different projects and activities.
