In the past quarter we have facilitated a range of workshops and experiences all aimed at broadening the education of women.

Lets take a look at a some examples.

Building confidence

We hosted a great session on the topic of confidence with young girls and women in the community.

The workshop really helped to bring awareness to skills and strategies for building confidence in their lives. Further to this we also hosted a powerful workshop on gender equality with women in our community, discussing the vital role of inspiring women in Nepal.

Mental health and wellbeing

Our health care team have been helping to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. Workshops have included defining of mental health and discusing strategies alongside emotional psychological and social well-being aspects of mental health.

Business skills

We had teams working with our partner SASANE on some business skills. Different teams focused on topics such as; marketing and branding, setting up displays, service design, and product development. The teams worked collaborative coming up with some creative and innovative ideas to enhance their business initiative. Their collaborative efforts have laid a strong foundation for future success

English classes

The English classes which are such a core part of this project have continued. Participants have continued to expand their conservation skills and their english vocabulary, its great to see the levels of confidence improving.

Excited about a new initiative

By Nepal team | Project Team

We thank you for your ongoing support for the Women's Empowerment project. Your support means increased resources for programs that educate, develop skills and build positive networks among women in the region.

We have a strong focus on supporting women to develop confidence in speaking English. In the past three months we have run over 70 workshop sessions for women. These workshops not only offer a supportive opportuity to develop skills, they are also a have a key outcome of being a social outlet for women in the community. We've also supported with workshops on a range of issues including health topics.

We are excited to report that we have been working with the community to develop a new sustainable initiative based on developing sewing skills. We aim to raise enough funds to purchase five sewing machines. We can also fund an experienced trainer who can deliver sessions to develop skills around sewing. The skills will include; how to tailor clothes more effectively, manage sewing machine issues and to work safely with a sewing machine.

To foster the long Nepali traditions of the artisanal tailoring industry, we will ensure the trainer applies local practices for sewing so the women can develop skill sets that are unique to Pokhara, and so they are more likely to be successful in a larger market. The sewing will give women a chance to develop their skills and apply these to money earning initiatives.

We appreciate you support in keeping our long term projects running. It is wonderful to see the development of English skills among the women and exciting that we can expand to new initiatives to support the needs in the community.

Every donation is sincerely appreciated. We thank you for your support in helping us achieve our goal!
