Who We Are
Rupadevi Youth Network (RYN) is a non-profit, youth-led organization based in Narharinath-09, Kalikot, in the remote Karnali Province of Nepal. Founded in 2081 B.S. by a group of passionate local youth, we exist to empower young people, promote inclusion, and create sustainable change in underserved rural communities.We believe that real transformation happens when youth lead — when they are trusted, trained, and supported to shape the future of their own communities.
Our Core Value

As a youth-led organization committed to inclusion, dignity, and empowerment, we hold ourselves accountable to values that promote fairness, transparency, and grassroots participation. These principles are not just ideals—we put them into action in every training, campaign, partnership, and decision we make.
