“Youth in Sustainable Development” is a joint project of USSHA Foundation and IDEM – Identity through Initiative.

Our aim is to enable sustainable development focusing on rural areas of Nepal. This development is lead by the local youth. We work in partnership with them to further their future possibilities and visions in their communities. The Project is organized by a group of young students from Nepal, Germany and Switzerland.
