SUNITA FOUNDATION is an organisation established and run by survivors of human trafficking. It focuses on youth empowerment to prevent human trafficking at the grass root level and to establish the issue of human trafficking as an issue of national importance in Nepal. SUNITA FOUNDATION works in the areas of prevention of human trafficking, protection of survivors and capacity building, as well as lobby and advocacy.

As a new initiative, SUNITA FOUNDATION also works for youth empowerment via providing employment opportunities to youth through the Modern Agriculture Farming. A large number of young people in Nepal are lured by traffickers with promises of quick job opportunities and foreign employment. In order to prevent this, SUNITA FOUNDATION works with young people and acts as a bridge between youth and local, provincial and federal authorities to utilise the available resources for modern agriculture farming. The aim is to reduce the risks of human trafficking and exploitation by providing employment opportunities for young people within Nepal.

Aaprabasi Mahila Kamdar Samuha (AMKAS) is an organisation for, by and of returnee women migrants with a focus to unite and establish a strong network among women migrants workers. AMKAS aims to support women migrant workers, looking at both intra- and inter-country migration to advocate for their rights, enhance their skills and provide a safe space for women migrant workers to discuss, share and learn from each other's life experiences. Many women in Nepal migrate internally as a stepping stone to their overseas migration. Therefore AMKAS feels strongly that more intensive work and interaction is needed with women in this first phase of migration, to improve their skills and capacity and understanding of their rights. This in turn will reduce the risks and vulnerability to trafficking for those women who plan to migrate abroad.
