BACKGROUND
The Hariyali Youth Club (HYC) is a non-profit, non-government organization, established in 1996 by the youth of Bachhauli-6 village, Chitwan, Nepal. The HYC strives to cultivate an educated and well-developed Tharu community throughout the Terai. The HYC aims to preserve the indigenous Tharu culture, and facilitate the creation of a Tharu Cultural Museum and Reference Center. The Cultural Museum and Reference Centre will be a vehicle for the Chitwan Tharus to express their traditions, values, and identity, and will ensure that their cultural identity will be preserved for future generations. The Museum and associated programs will also empower Tharu individuals to improve their lives and promote a brighter future for the community.
