Together for Equality. Together for Strong Communities.
For nearly 30 years, Gramin Utthan Abhiyan has worked with women, children, youth, farmers, and vulnerable families across Madhesh Province. We help people learn new skills, build confidence, improve their lives, and create stronger communities.
Gramin Utthan Abhiyan (GUA) is a non-profit organization based in Madhesh Province, Nepal. Since 2054 B.S. (1997), we have worked with communities to improve lives through education, health, women's leadership, livelihood, disaster response, agriculture, social inclusion, and community development.
Gramin Utthan Abhiyan was started by local people who wanted to improve the lives of poor and vulnerable families. Today, we work with local governments, schools, community groups, women, youth, farmers, and development partners.
We believe that every community has the power to solve its own problems. Our role is to support, guide, and walk together with the community.
A future where every woman, man, girl, and boy lives with dignity, enjoys equal opportunities, and has the freedom to reach their full potential.
To empower vulnerable and marginalized communities through community participation, leadership development, education, sustainable livelihoods, humanitarian support, and inclusive development.
