A single footballer (soccer player) walks onto a field to compete alone……..

Sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke. If we wouldn’t imagine a footballer playing as a one man team, why would we imagine that large scale societal issues could be solved by a single person or organization?

Naya Shristi is about creating opportunities which makes us an anti-poverty and anti-discrimination organization. But we cannot fight this battle alone. We can make a little effort, but we will be much stronger as we build a network of partners who share a similar passion and who are doing similar work in order to further each other’s work. We have to work as a football team. We are participating in the battle against human trafficking for this reason. The causes of human trafficking are the same causes of poverty and discrimination.

Naya Shristi works in Nepal only, but we are aware that poverty, discrimination and human trafficking are global issues. We have chosen to stand in Nepal and fight for freedom and opportunity here. We’re in the process of creating a network here of people who are fighting the same fight and doing the same work.

You are of course invited to join us also! Financial contributions of any size are always welcome. We also need to expand our network, so if you have connections you think would be helpful, please email executivedirector@nayashristi.org. And keep reading our blog and monthly updates! More to come!
