Blind Youth Association Nepal

Young Nepali BPS persons realized several years back that we had to organise ourselves to develop our  confidence and leadership skills for our own development, to promote changes in government policy, educate the population about disability in general and blindness in particular.  Although there have long been several organisations working in the blind sector, the issues faced by blind and partially sighted youth were not their focus.  Accordingly, in Kathmandu in 2011, we established that Blind Youth Organisation Nepal (BYAN).  We felt that a separate organisation was needed to address the issues and challenges specific to BPS children, adolescents and youth.

BYAN is a non-political, non-religious, not for profit Non- Governmental Organization (NGO) established by the Blind and Partially Sighted (BPS) youth of Nepal.
