"We stand for what we believe in"
~ Welcome to our monthly Newsletter: MAY ISSUE ~

Since 2006, SAATH worked with youth, women, and children in multiple advocacy projects including The Human Face, a media advocacy program in addressing vulnerabilities and challenges related to HIV/ AIDS. The year 2012 marks special for SAATH as we consciously put our efforts into advancing the livelihood and educational outcomes for women, girls, and children. In doing so, today we are actively working under our two signature programs, Program Awasar and Program Hakuna Matata in Kathmandu, Sindhupalchowk, and Dhanushadham district of Nepal.
