Dear Supporters,

We are incredibly grateful for your generous contributions to the "Sustainable Livelihoods for Nepal Women" campaign. Thanks to your unwavering support, we have been able to empower dozens of marginalized women from Nepal's ethnic minorities, equipping them with the skills and confidence to create their own micro-businesses. This program has not only transformed lives but has also contributed to the conservation of Nepal's precious natural resources by reducing dependence on them.

Program Achievements:

  1. Empowering Marginalized Women:

    • Through this program, we provided comprehensive sewing and business training to dozens of women from marginalized communities. Many of these women had limited opportunities to earn an income, and your support has opened doors to financial independence and self-reliance.
  2. Creation of Micro-Businesses:

    • The women trained under this program have successfully launched their own micro-businesses, producing a range of handmade products. These businesses have enabled them to support their families, send their children to school, and improve their overall quality of life.
  3. Reducing Dependence on Natural Resources:

    • By providing alternative livelihood options, this program has played a crucial role in reducing the pressure on Nepal's natural resources. The women involved are now able to generate income without relying on practices that harm the environment, contributing to the sustainable development of their communities.
  4. Building Confidence and Community:

    • Beyond the tangible skills and income, this program has fostered a strong sense of community and self-worth among the participants. The women have built networks of support, sharing knowledge and experiences that will continue to benefit them long after the program's conclusion.

Conclusion and Future Focus:

As we celebrate the success of this transformative program, we have made the difficult decision to retire the "Sustainable Livelihoods for Nepal Women" project. This decision allows us to shift our focus to environmental education and conservation training programs, where we can continue to make a significant impact.

Your support has been instrumental in making this life-changing program possible. We are deeply thankful for your generosity and belief in our mission. The legacy of this project will live on in the empowered women who are now contributing to the well-being of their families and the preservation of Nepal's natural beauty.

Thank You:

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of this journey. Your contributions have made a lasting difference in the lives of many women, and we are honored to have had you as a partner in this important work. As we move forward, we carry with us the knowledge that, together, we have made a profound and positive impact on the world.

With deepest gratitude,

Women for Conservation
