चुलो निम्तो to all curious minds, individuals, and changemakers for an open conversation on a topic we rarely talk about enough ; Menopause.

🌸 “Menopause” should not be a word that we only hear in silence, confusion, or fear. The more we talk across generations, the more informed, empathetic, and healthier our communities become.

💗 Under the Aarogya Abhiyan initiative led by RHEST and SOCHAI, we invite you to join an open and interactive session on Menopause (रजोनिवृत्ति) with public health expert Dr. Aruna Uprety. Let’s break myths, normalize conversations, and learn together about a phase of life that deserves more awareness and care.

🗣️ Speaker: Dr. Aruna Uprety, Public Health Expert
📅 Date: Jestha 29, 2083 ⏰ Time: 2 PM – 4 PM
📍 Venue details will be shared after registration confirmation.

This , we’re proud to launch a special jingle that celebrates menstruation with openness, dignity, and pride.

While the song mostly mentions women and girls, reflecting the experiences of many who menstruate, we also want to acknowledge that not all women menstruate, and not everyone who menstruates is a woman. Trans men and non-binary individuals menstruate too, and they deserve equal respect, visibility, and access to menstrual health support. ❤️

Let’s continue building conversations that are inclusive, stigma-free, and rooted in empathy for everyone who experiences periods....and please look forward to our dance challenge on this jingle.



Note: This jingle’s voice and music were created with the support of AI technology.

केही heroes cape लगाउँदैनन्- some sit, listen, and show up for others. 💜

In Hetauda, a powerful wave of youth-led change is taking shape.

SOCHAI, in collaboration with Yale University, Dhulikhel Hospital, and Mankaa Kura, successfully conducted a 5-day Peer Volunteers Training under the project “Youth focused, Peer delivered, Family engaged Su***de Prevention Package (YPF-SuPP)” in Makwanpur (April 20–24).

A group of 16 peer volunteers from different wards came together with curiosity, courage, and commitment. Throughout the training, they built their capacity on key areas such as volunteerism, behavioral change communication, mental health, grounding techniques, anxiety management, and the importance of youth as role models and peer supporters.

Each day, the room was filled with energy, reflection, learning, and genuine connection. What stood out the most was their willingness to grow—not just for themselves, but for their communities.

Because sometimes, the most powerful support comes from someone who simply says, “I understand. I’m here.” ✨
