Beyond the classroom!!!
How do we spend our leisure time mostly? Travelling, reading books, dancing, singing, painting, writing, volunteering, following our favourite hobbies like martial arts, playing musical instruments, writing poetry and many more. Sometimes we even stay without doing anything. But imagine, what if we were awarded for just spending our leisure time wisely? It would be amazing right? This imagination can be turned into reality by being a part of the Duke of Edinburgh International Award.
The Duke of Edinburgh International Award is a global platform where individuals (14-24 age group) can participate regardless of any gender, background or ability. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award (DoEIA) in Nepal promotes overall development through personalised non-competitive activities. It encourages young people to use their free time productively, nurturing physical, mental, and spiritual growth without focusing on material rewards. Not all learning happens inside the classroom. Some of the most valuable lessons come from stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing new challenges, and experiencing the world firsthand.

Our Projects
Providing Access and Empowering Youth Living in Residential Homes (3 Funds)
Providing Access and Empowering Youth Living in Residential Homes (3 Funds)
Launched in 2019, the Three Fund Grant: Providing Access and Empowering Youth Living in Homes is a transformative three-year initiative aimed at empowering young people from marginalized backgrounds, with a focus on those in residential care settings.
Initially piloted in partnership with the Early Childhood Development Center and Nepal Youth Foundation, the project has evolved to collaborate with SOS Children's Villages Nepal. Currently, the initiative works with all nine SOS Children's Villages across Nepal, creating pathways to educational and personal development for underprivileged youth.
By addressing immediate needs and equipping participants with skills for long-term personal and professional growth, the project empowers youth to build sustainable and brighter futures.
Engaging Nepal Scouts in Award Program (ISP)
Engaging Nepal Scouts in Award Program (ISP)
Launched in 2017, the Engaging Nepal Scouts in the Award Programme (ISP) aimed to involve 1,500 Scouts aged 14-24 in the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award by the end of the project.
While the initiative marked a significant step toward integrating the Award with Scouting in Nepal, progress faced challenges due to internal leadership changes within Nepal Scouts, resource constraints, and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite these hurdles, the project remains a cornerstone for fostering youth engagement and development, with ongoing efforts to achieve its vision.
Young People Empowerment Program (WF FUND)
Young People Empowerment Program (WF FUND)

In its second year, the programme supported 21 impactful projects, empowering young people with essential resources and opportunities for growth.
Currently, the initiative sponsors two community schools—Shree Shringery Community School and Shree Sisnery Secondary School—and CWIN Balika Peace Home, focusing on infrastructure development and engagement support.
