Most of the rural women of the Terai region of Nepal are illiterate and also lack certain skills to generate income for themselves which often leaves them on the lurch and below the poverty level. Thus, this project aims to improve the livelihoods of these helpless rural women by helping them to learn skills to generate income through various skill development training and workshops. For ex: vegetable farming, tailoring, handicrafts, bee-keeping, pickle making, mushroom farming, carpentry, etc.

Her Farm Films is a women's empowerment program that is breaking all gender roles and providing real, sustainable incomes for independence. Real empowerment means an income that enables a woman to support herself and not live a life of dependency on a male member of the family. Unless and until a woman can achieve the level of income she has not been empowered, she's been further enslaved. Small incomes go to the male members of the household and the woman simply has more work to do.
