Women's Empowerment in Nepal
In Pokhara, our project focuses upon improving gender equality through health, education and opportunities. In a country relying on tourism, the impact of the global pandemic means that issues related to poverty such as human trafficking, access to healthcare, education and employment opportunities are increased.
