Everest Club believes that the basic needs of people are their fundamental rights they are entitled to through national constitution and international conventions ratified by the country. In order to claim and enjoy those rights the people must be organized, empowered and enabled. The claims on all rights must have constitutional basis and claimants must be informed. However, all struggles for rights should be non-violent.
Everest Club believes that the rights holders must be organized empowered with skill, knowledge, information, and the strategic know-how. Once they are empowered they play the lead role and grow self-assertive in their rights pursuit. This help build bottom -up pressure which eventually makes duty-bearers responsible and accountable to their actions.
Everest Club believes that the rights holders should be involved throughout the entire cycle of the project. They should have active role in planning, setting priorities, implementing and social auditing. This increases sense of ownership in them and increases sustainability prospects.

In order to transform the condition of our target groups into the desired level and to provide justice to those people, EC Dailekh works with the local governments and other government agencies to include its target groups in their formal and informal institutions and decision-making processes.
- Community-based empowerment approach: Empowerment is both a means and an end in EC Dailekh’s work with its target groups. This implies consulting the people first, in particular women, poor, disadvantaged groups, and marginalized and vulnerable people and groups, considering the impact of decisions and activities on them and enabling them to fully participate in and own the achievements of these activities.

Improving community-based organizations’ sustainability and strengthening their capacity to dialogue with the government and give voice to their members to claim for their rights will help to build self-resilient community. Similarly, EC Dailekh will support the emergence of local leadership, especially among women, poor and disadvantaged groups.

According to the new Constitution of Nepal, all the people have the right to live with dignity and enjoy the human rights. People who are poor, excluded, disadvantaged and vulnerable should also have the right to live with dignity and enjoy human rights, for which it is necessary to eliminate the structural causes of inequalities and oppression that cause poverty and exclusion. EC applies special focus on empowering those poor and disadvantaged communities so that they can claim their rights in a responsible manner.
