JC Bhawani Shrestha
Founder's Message
When we laid the foundation of JCI Pokhara Lady in 1989, our vision was simple yet profound: to create a dedicated space where young women could step forward, discover their voice, and take active ownership of our community's future.
What started as a pioneering movement in Pokhara has grown into a vibrant network of leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers across Nepal. Over the decades, every project undertaken, every skill honed, and every life touched has affirmed one truth: when you empower a young woman, you transform an entire community.
To our current members and future leaders—continue to lead with courage, serve with empathy, and lift one another as you climb. The legacy we built together belongs to you to carry forward."

President's Message
Warm greetings to all esteemed members, advisors, and supporters of JCI Pokhara Lady.
As young women, we hold the power and responsibility to shape our community through active leadership, empathy, and positive action. Leading this pioneering female-led chapter is both an honor and a commitment. Our mission continues to focus on empowering young women across Pokhara and Gandaki Province through skill development, civic engagement, and impactful community initiatives.
Through our theme of 'Empowered Women, Transformed Communities', our executive team remains dedicated to opening new pathways for female leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. I invite you all to join hands with us as we work together to create lasting social impact."
