YV was established in 1985 as a non-profitable, non-government, and non-political organization to serve people who use drugs and people affected by HIV and AIDS. In Nepal, Youth Vision (YV) is viewed as a pioneering organization dedicated to minimize the drug use and drug induced HIV. YV is devoted to protect and promote the rights of PUDs and ensure essential drug demand reduction and accessibility and availability of harm reduction services to its marginalized beneficiaries.
