Dhangadhi : A learning review of the Kishori Basic Project, focused on the health, sanitation, safety and rights of adolescent girls, was held in Dhangadhi with the participation of stakeholders and representatives from the target communities.
The two-year project was implemented in Krishnapur Municipality of Kanchanpur in partnership with the Nepal National Social Welfare Association (NNSWA) and World Vision International Nepal.
During the review, Project Officer Sarika Pal presented the project’s achievements, followed by discussions on its activities, challenges and key lessons. The project worked to create safer and more supportive environments for adolescent girls in schools and communities.
The project established adolescent-friendly information centers and resting rooms for girls during menstruation in schools. It also provided information on sexual and reproductive health and menstrual hygiene management, along with essential sanitation materials.
The project also supported the construction of safe drinking water facilities and disability-friendly toilets in schools and communities. Awareness activities, including street dramas, interactions and dialogue programs, were conducted to address gender-based violence and promote the rights of adolescent girls.
Participants emphasized the need to identify the actual needs of adolescent girls, increase the involvement of parents and communities, and strengthen coordination among schools, health institutions, local governments and communities.
The project was implemented in Wards 1, 2, 4, 7 and 9 of Krishnapur Municipality, Kanchanpur.
