YDF

The Bhutan Youth Development Fund (YDF) champions the potential of young people across Bhutan, bridging modern education, environmental stewardship, and cultural heritage to cultivate a generation of confident, self-reliant citizens.

Guided by Gross National Happiness principles, YDF empowers youth through holistic programs in Climate Action, Health & Wellbeing, Education, Skills Development, and more.

Nyingnor helps with strategic communications, media coverage, social media handlings, designs, and livestreaming. We conducted a nationwide UPSHIFT impact assessment survey comparing 80 UPSHIFT and 40 non-UPSHIFT schools to measure differences in students' skills and programme impact.
