In the heart of Thamel, Chill Pill Zone is redefining what a restaurant can be—a space of pride, belonging, and opportunity for the LGBTIQ+ community.
With seed support of NPR 10,000 from SETU, this initiative took a meaningful step forward. Founder Babu Chhetri shares:
“This support may seem small, but it made a big difference for us. We used it to create LGBTIQ-themed colors so people feel this is their space.”
Today, Chill Pill Zone stands as a vibrant example of how small investments can empower communities, build confidence, and create safe, inclusive environments.
Watch the story and see how change begins—with support, courage, and community.
