Girls: Better after quake

With the funds received within this period and with support from Visible Impact, our girls have started training more young girls from their village in Khairanitar. Young girls of Khairanitar were really keen and eager to learn seeing their elder sisters excel in extracurricular areas.

During the festivities, the girls who were studying and working came back to their village. Hearing the interest expressed by other young girls, they decided to form a club to offer various classes and career counseling. The club is also partly supported by local community office. Our girls initiated the club activities during the festivities and decided to continue it online after getting back to the city. Some of them have stayed back to help families during the harvesting time also teaching the young girls in person during their leisure time.

We are proud that the small initiative which we started is somewhat creating a ripple effect and have started creating impacts on more lives. We will continue to support them in coming days and encourage on continuing this activity.

Our Sarathis who were recently trained on ‘Menstrual Hygiene Management’ have started conducting workshops at their full fledge. The workshops are being conducted in different schools across Kathmandu valley among adolescents. They have been covering the topic from Anatomy to Physiology to social topics like Role of Men in menstruation.

With the received funds, we have been providing the transportation and lunch cost to our Sarathis who have been voluntarily contributing their time to work on this cause. The cost also covers the expenses of stationeries used during the workshops. It is because of the funds we receive, we’re being able to continue our activism, mobilize and empower the young people.

With this kind and continuous support, we are more motivated to work for the cause, raise awareness placing our youths as leaders.
