Restless Development Nepal is a youth led development agency that works in the poorest and most marginalised districts of Nepal to raise the awareness of children and young people on health issues such as HIV, hygiene and sanitation. Working in collaboration with other NGOs, its programmes are delivered in schools and the wider community by international and national volunteers, who offer peer-led interactive development activities. These volunteers promote the formation of youth clubs, to widen the impact of the programmes and help develop young people’s life skills. Restless Development Nepal also works alongside local communities to build hygiene and sanitation infrastructure, and advocates at a national level for the health and participation rights of young people.
