May 14, 2020

Poverty makes people vulnerable, begins in childhood and often continues into old age. Young social entrepreneurs in Nepal are fighting against human trafficking, providing education for the poorest of the poor.

People's dreams and desires for a happy life are the same all over the world: a good livelihood, health and personal development. But those who come from poor backgrounds hardly have a chance. Inequality begins in childhood. At what point is the course of someone’s life set? How can they guard against false promises? Who can they turn to for help?

We meet three founders of social ventures. They want to overcome the barriers in society and are committed to improving equal opportunities and creating more social justice. Poverty means not only a low income, but above all a lack of opportunities to shape one's own life and advance in society. Many do not succeed in this on their own, but need support.
