Watch a recap of the dialogue on NTV News.

As part of AHF’s ongoing Freedom from Debt campaign, AHF Nepal, in collaboration with Youth Initiative, recently united youth, economists, journalists, and other stakeholders in Lalitpur for “Debt, Development and Us: Youth Dialogue on Nepal’s Public Debt,” exploring how borrowing decisions could affect economic opportunities and essential services for future generations.

“It was valuable to have young people directly engage with economists and other experts. The opportunity to ask questions and share our concerns made the session more meaningful,” said Sampanna Basnet, an event participant. 

By creating space for young people to engage in these discussions, AHF Nepal highlighted the importance of ensuring that today’s debt and development decisions do not come at the expense of the next generation.

AHF Nepal's program was launched in 2009. Today, the program serves more than 16,000 clients.

Building Stronger Pathways to Care

The following story, written by Diana Shpak, AHF Europe Knowledge Management Focal Point, is a special feature on AHF partner Fundacja HelpNowHUB in Poland, a recipient of the AHF Partnership Fund.

AHF partner, Fundacja HelpNowHUB, empowers women through a dance workshop.

Hanna Ariabińska, President of Fundacja HelpNowHUB, shares why grant support matters for organizations working with vulnerable communities. Through Fundacja HelpNowHUB’s experience, Hanna shows how targeted support can become a lifeline, helping expand care, strengthen outreach, and reach people who need support the most.

Fundacja HelpNowHUB is a non-governmental organization that was registered in Poland in October 2023. It was founded by Ukrainian refugee women living with HIV, many of whom came to Poland with their children after the war began. The organization helps Ukrainian refugees, people living with HIV, women affected by war, people with disabilities, and youth navigate healthcare, social services, and daily life in Poland. Their team has walked this path themselves, and they meet people with trust and real understanding.

The AHF Partnership Fund’s grant made it possible to provide peer-to-peer counseling for people living with HIV and key populations, organize WENDŌ empowerment and self-defense trainings for migrant women, and bring mobile HIV/STI testing closer to people facing the greatest barriers, including people with disabilities, limited mobility and hidden communities.

Since launching the programming in 2019, AHF Malawi has grown to serve more than 56,000 clients.
