A devastating earthquake has struck Nepal-and the epicenter is in Gorkha, where EDWON has long been working with the most impoverished women. Villages have been leveled and people have lost everything. EDWON, a human rights organization, is working at the grassroots with women of the "lowest" castes--who are profoundly discriminated against--even in disaster relief. EDWON is channeling desperately needed help to the community through our long established Dalit women's groups.
