Every Step Matters

Pahilo Kadam is a group of young people in Nepal. We feed stray animals, hand out pads in schools, and talk openly about periods and mental health.

How we started

Our story

We started in early 2025. Four of us were talking about things around us we wanted to change, like children in rural schools going without basic supplies and food from events getting thrown away.

We decided to pick something small and actually do it. That’s where the name comes from: pahilo kadam means “first step” in Nepali.
