Program Manager Coach Mission

Project: GREEN VILLAGE NEPAL

The first Green Village started in July 2018, with a unique and experimental project of a Sustainable Training Center for out-of-school Young Adults nearby Raipur (Chhattisgarh), India. This soft and hard skill training center has welcomed and trained already +300 Youth coming from skilling programs like Vocational Training Programs (VTPs) or other organisms (livelihood, other NGOs, associations...), helped them in developing professional grooming and employability skills (communication skills, organization and management, time management, business mindset, teamwork, citizenship.. The final objective is to help them to find a stable and decent job (by coaching them, without placement as it's not a placement agency).

Based on the same replicable model, a Green Village was created in January 2020 in Kathmandu, now located in Buddhanilkantha, which has now accompanied over 600 Youth towards their inclusion since 2020

Since October 2024, the Green Village is under renovation in order to become a Sustainable Resource Center, to welcome communities, youth and raise awareness on climate actions.

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT CENTER - LP4Y

Open in May 2019, the Training & Development Center of Kathmandu, Tinkune, proposes a learning by doing pedagogy to excluded young women and young mothers, in order for them to both develop professional skills and their future.

Life Project 4 Youth Nepal is registered under the local Organization in Nepal, in the Social Welfare Council. This soft skill training center has welcomed and trained already +250 Youth( age 18-26) coming from skilling programs like Vocational Training Programs (VTPs) or other organisms (livelihood, other NGOs, associations...), helped them in developing professional grooming and employability skills (communication skills, organization and management, time management, business mindset, teamwork, citizenship...). The final objective is to help them to find a stable and decent job (by coaching them, without placement as it's not a placement agency).

The project uses a hands-on pedagogy in the social and professional integration of Youth based on the 15 years experience of Life Project 4 Youth Foundation, LP4Y, specialized in integration of excluded Youth.
