Ujyalo Foundation is a  non-profit organization, established in 2014, with a vision to create safe spaces for girls, women, and non-binary individuals to learn and lead in Nepal. Our mission is to enhance the number of girls, women, and non-binary individuals in leadership and decision-making roles in Nepal. The Foundation is a purpose-driven, dynamic, and impact-oriented organization, which believes in creating a gender-just and equitable world for all.

Since its inception, Ujyalo Foundation has been running various leadership institutes for women of diverse age groups, to build their capacity for leadership via the lens of gender, sexuality, rights, and intersectionality.

Ujyalo Foundation also focuses on sustainable development in rural Nepal by conducting programs that promote innovation, encourage social enterprise, and increase capacity building through community-based projects, gender-inclusive leadership, and strengthening the leadership and civic expansion of the elected women representatives.
