Fifty-seven percent of leaders say that soft skills are as essential skills as hard skills. Unfortunately, the formal education system mostly focuses on developing technical skills while barely developing the former, which include the ability to lead and collaborate effectively, deliver presentations confidently, and solve problems both critically and creatively. Because of this, many Nepali youths suffer from the challenges of venturing into the real world with only conceptual and technical knowledge to boot. They emerge educated but not skilled; thus, Team NEPO gives young people the tools they need to meet their goals with ease by providing leadership programs that lay the groundwork for personal, academic, and professional advancement and grow a community that thrives on building positive relationships.
A large section of the population in Nepal, particularly those living in rural poverty, are at risk of infection and mortality by communicable diseases, malnutrition and other health-related events. We consider sensibilities of those people are due to lack of awareness and knowledge about all these aspects. Team NEPO has partnered with local health organizations and academic institutions to organize community health awareness initiatives and school health programs that tackle (1) developing good personal hygiene practices in children, (2) the importance of observing a balanced diet, and (3) the dangers of leading a sedentary lifestyle. By emphasizing observance and awareness even in the urban areas, Team NEPO aims to optimize the youth productivity in contributing widely and actively to the society.
Education is, indubitably, one of the most valuable asset a human can achieve, the sole basis on which the future of the human race depends. Education is included with the utmost priority as one of the Sustainable Development Goals as it is one of the pre-requisite for achieving other SDGs. SDGs 4 states: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. Besides formal education, Team NEPO also focuses on cultivating reading culture and promoting critical thinking and logical reasoning in all age groups through different programs. Apart from this, TN is currently running a campaign ‘PUSTAK PARIYOJANA’ with an aim to establish prison libraries in all 74 prisons of Nepal. In addition to this, Chitan Chautari is a talk program series hosted by TN that brings national and international speakers, experts, professionals and scholars from various background with a sole aim to provide wisdom and enlighten the youth of the nation.
The latest Environmental Performance Index (EPI) report ranked Nepal at the bottom of the list among 180 countries, citing that the country has the worst air quality and has demonstrated a poor overall environmental performance. Recent reports have emphasized the suffocating air pollution plaguing the country caused by poor waste management. Team NEPO believes that public participation in advancing proper waste management practices is essential to minimize the adverse effects of waste on the environment and public health. Hence, Team NEPO has organized seminars that invite environmental leaders to talk about man-made environmental issues in the country like the prevalence of plastic pollution and habitual disposal of waste anywhere. TN has initiated a campaign called 'MERO RUKH' for 1 million trees plantation which encourages school students and young people to participate in plantation, sanitation and making of herbal gardens.
