Initiative Nepal

Initiative Nepal(Steps for Better lives) contributes to the international development agendas by implementing projects of global concerns through local initiatives.

Initiative Nepal (Steps for Better lives) is a youth led autonomous organization working in the best interest of people and nature with aspiration of demonstrating “new generation leadership in innovations for sustainable development." Our organization aims to be a support system to government in bringing positive amendments in programs and projects in the best interest of young population, indigenous ethnic communities, and social clusters. We venture to influence collective will-formation and the policy culture by empowering community-building projects based on social trust and equity.

OUR CORE VALUES:- The trinity of Freedom, social justice and solidarity forms the core values of Initiative Nepal (Steps for Better lives). Our values represent the three generations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—civil and political rights (first generation), social, economic and cultural rights (second generation) and the rights to development, self determination and international cooperation (third generation). These rights imply to set a condition for human beings to lead secure and creative lives guided by human consciousness, courage and free will of citizens.

OUR BELIEF AND STRENGTH:- We at Initiative Nepal (Steps for Better lives) believe that power must be rooted in the people hence-forth, network for building youth lead alliance espousing the indivisibility, inalienability and universality of rights and, continue to challenge predatory regimes in favor of a democratic alliance within and across national borders. Initiative Nepal’s identification with the non-profit sectors situates it alongside the spirit of human beings and establishes that political and economic systems ought to be secondary to voluntary human relations. However, Initiative Nepal (Steps for Better lives) springs not from the intimate sphere, such as family and relational network, but from secondary associations and public communication. Our active coordination and collaboration with professional organizations, civil society, non-profit, voluntary and self-help organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), formal and informal associations of people provides strength to move towards its goal.
