Global Maheela at the 30th UN Youth Assembly: A Journey of Purpose and Empowerment Leave a comment

The 30th UN Youth Assembly, hosted by AFS Youth Assembly, was more than an event. It was a global gathering of changemakers determined to create a more just, sustainable, and inclusive world. Youth leaders from across the globe came together to address the defining challenges of our time, from gender equality and climate justice to migration, human rights, and global health.

At the United Nations Headquarters and New York University, stories of courage and resilience echoed through every hall, inspiring action and connection. Among them, Global Maheela proudly represented Nepal, sharing its mission to empower women, youth, and families through sustainable social business models.
