Each year we make a positive difference to thousands of lives. We work with children, young people and their families everyday to help them find their own solutions, be strong and have hopes for the future.

Children and Youth First

A non-governmental organization established by idealistic and like-minded youth volunteers from the urban Kathmandu periphery, we are a highly responsible and motivated group of action and results-oriented individuals from varied socioeconomic backgrounds. Consistent voluntary work beginning during our own school years and continuing through to this day as dedicated young adults has led us to decide to continue our mission in vigorously striving for social causes affecting the less fortunate around us.

Code Club

Code Club currently has over 1000 clubs in over 75 countries, and our club projects have been translated in 15 languages.

Designed To Move

DESIGNED TO MOVE is a new report that: makes a powerful case for urgent investment in physical activity and lays out a simple plan for collective action. Over 70 expert organizations from the field of physical activity were involved in developing this report. We are trying to enable and inspire a collective and unified approach to end the growing epidemic of physical inactivity. Our vision is of future generations running, jumping, and kicking to reach their greatest potential.

DIY

DIY is an online community for kids. We give kids tools to collect everything they make as they grow up and a place to share it.
