EmpowerHER: Rights, Protection and Hope

It has been an incredible couple of months - very busy but we managed to help many girls and communities. 

Our staff now are working really closely with the local Female Community Health Volunteers and the results are amazing. The volunteers inform us about any cases of girls that might need our assistance, and they also help us with the coordination of community training sessions on domestic violence and child marriage. 

Thanks to Kushalta, our Education Officer, the girls are doing so well with their studies and those that started attending school are really enjoying their time there. 

We are just finalising our plans for a good quality tailoring/pattern cutting training pilot. We have had delays to this part of the project due to scarcity of good quality trainers but it seems very soon we will be able to provide the girls skills that are not readily available in Nepal. This should help with their employment opportunities in the future. 

We will soon be releasing a video showing our work on the project and stories of some of our girls. We cannot wait to be able to show it to you all. 

We are also starting our new project, End to Child Marriage – this will form a part of our Children Protection Programme. 1 in 2 girls in Province 2 get married when they are still children. It is illegal but sadly a very common practice in the area. We will be starting our activities from next year and will keep you all updated. 

 Thank you so much for all the support so far. We couldn’t continue our activities without this support. Thank you.
