Empowering Youth Leaders for Disaster Preparedness in Nepal

In December, young leaders from the youth-led organization We for Change visited the Mitra Disaster Risk Reduction Learning Center (MDRRLC) to gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to disaster preparedness and risk reduction.

During the visit, participants learned about the history and types of disasters affecting Nepal, including earthquakes, floods, and landslides, along with their causes, consequences, and mitigation strategies. They also took part in preparedness drills and simulated emergency scenarios covering first aid, emergency evacuation procedures, and disaster response tools.

The visit involved We for Change and MDRRLC and provided young leaders with practical exposure to disaster preparedness and risk reduction. The activities focused on supporting youth participation in disaster preparedness and community resilience.
