Challenge

Many girls/women in rural Nepal face early marriage, adolescent pregnancy, bonded labor, & insecure informal employment, forcing many to leave school and limiting their decent work opportunities. Trapped in poverty and social exclusion, many migrate to Kathmandu in search of livelihoods, where they often end up in hazardous work, exploitative informal jobs, or sex industry. And they expose to violence, discrimination, poor mental well-being, and a persistent cycle of poverty and exploitation.

Solution

Program empowers marginalized women by creating pathways to education, dignity, and economic independence. It provides basic education to 25 women and equips 150 women (16-45 yrs) with digital literacy, menstrual health and hygiene education, psychosocial support, and awareness of safety and rights. 15 graduates get skills training, entrepreneurship mentoring, seed funding, and job placement support, enabling them to secure sustainable livelihoods and break the cycle of poverty and vulnerability

Long-Term Impact

This program breaks cycles of poverty and exclusion for girls and women by building confidence, independence, and rights awareness through education, life skills, psychosocial support, and special education arrangements for those facing barriers. Digital literacy, skills training, seed funding, and job placement enable sustainable livelihoods, reduce vulnerability to violence and discrimination, and help support their children's education.
