Challenge

The core problem is acute food insecurity in Nepal, with Himalayan communities being especially hard hit. This situation is worsened by climate change, which severely affects these already vulnerable populations struggling with extreme poverty and limited access to necessary food resources. As a result, many children are experiencing malnutrition, and economic difficulties are causing many girls to miss out on education.

Solution

This project will tackle food insecurity by forming groups of 30 women, who will receive seeds and expert agricultural support. The program involves girls from the hostel and their families, focusing on a family-centered approach. Each participant will share their new knowledge with their household, ensuring that the entire family benefits from improved farming practices and contributes to alleviating hunger.

Long-Term Impact

The program will empower 1,000 women to grow food for their families, helping over 1,000 out-of-school children learn farming. By selling their produce, families will combat hunger and generate income. The initiative will enhance nutrition, promote organic farming, educate the next generation, and provide economic opportunities for women, ensuring that today's gardeners secure tomorrow's food.
