TEWA for Women's Empowerment

Tewa means 'support' in Nepali and is the only women's fund in Nepal. Tewa's vision is to establish a truly sustainable development model in overly aid dependent Nepal. The Fund engages in community philanthropy, capacity development, movement building, networking, and collaborations with allied organizations for self-reliance and creating an equitable society. Combining locally raised funds with international funding, Tewa provides grants to marginalized women-led organizations and groups to organize community-level initiatives. Tewa supports issues such as sexual and reproductive health rights, legal rights, socio-economic empowerment, violence against women, rights of marginalized women and women with disabilities, political rights, and environmental rights, organizational development and sustainability, and feminist humanitarian support.
