goodwill ambassadors
Project Humane Nepal (PHN) Goodwill Ambassadors are public figures and leaders in the entertainment industry representing the fields of movies, modeling, fashion, business and beyond; they serve as positive role models in our society through their profession. They also share the same mission as Project Humane Nepal, a passion for protecting the welfare of street dogs in Nepal. These Goodwill Ambassadors will be leveraging their public platform to make an impact on the lives of thousands of stray dogs and companion animals who are counting on all of us to have the love and care they deserve, through education and awareness. They will be working towards breaking the negative stigma surrounding the homeless dogs, through awareness and social media posts. They are ambassadors for the animals!

Ashlesha Rana
Animals have always been important in Ashlesha’s life. She has three beautiful dogs, Rimka, Angel and Bambi. “There's no better joy in the world than having them around”, she says.
A Business Development Head for VLCC Nepal and a freelance makeup artist, Ashlesha Rana, is extremely passionate about helping stray animals. “Many people look at stray dogs and see them as a nuisance. But these are actual living feeling beings that lead incredibly brutal and painful lives. And it is at large because of the things that we humans have done. Hence, these animals most definitely need our help!” Ashlesha is committed to using her voice to further animal welfare issues, with a special emphasis on educating people to break the stigma surrounding stray dogs.

Model turned actress, Jyotsna Yogi excels not just in her professional life but also as an active animal welfare advocate. From helping find a forever home to abused and abandoned strays to rescuing dogs herself, Yogi has been helping homeless dogs behind the scenes for many years.
“The smallest of paper cuts can be so painful; it's not easy to stay hungry for few hours; we get hurt when people are mean to us. Imagine the dogs going through worse every single day.” She strongly stresses that there are many ways to help these street dogs, either by adopting from the streets or shelters, finding them loving homes or feeding them. "The least we can do is not hurt them. And, if you see any one abusing the dogs, you raise your voice, because they can't." Jyostsna is a proud mother of three dogs, Bhuntu, Fuchu and Sani!

Rheanna Limbu
Rheanna Limbu, a full-time model and an A-levels student, still finds time to speak up on behalf of the unfortunate situation of stray dogs in Nepal. Limbu has been a long-time supporter of Project Humane Nepal and believes that humane education should be an essential requirement in the school curriculum.
“My pet Oreo is an active and smart pug who never fails to cheer me up after a long, tiring day. His presence in my life has enlightened me about the unfortunate situation of stray dogs in Kathmandu and further motivated me to speak up for the ones in need" stresses Limbu. "I believe that today's youth have the maximum potential to take an initiative and direct everyone's attention towards ending the stereotypical abusive behaviour towards animals."
