Harambee Arts has trained a team of 7 Nepalese anti-trafficking activists to help girls recently rescued and those at risk of trafficking. Our team is based in Kathmandu, and offers workshops and education with the goal of ending human trafficking. We use visual arts, dance, storytelling and theater to alleviate the effects of trauma on girls who endured forced prostitution, and to provide education to reduce girls' vulnerability to trafficking. We seek funds to develop additional trainers.

Looking at the different Nepali words used to describe menstruation it can be said that having your period is still not accepted as a regular biological process in Nepal. Besides 'mahinawari' (what comes every month), the words 'para sarnu' (to stay away) and 'chhui hunu' (untouchable) are used to refer to menstruation. By conducting a program in high schools on Menstrual Hygiene Management ICA Nepal would like school girls to manage their period with dignity and without discomfort or fear.

The Hope Home rescues girls from dire circumstances and gives them an opportunity to receive an education and a life they would never have access to in the poor conditions they came from in the Himalayas. Upon visiting Nepal and spending time with these girls, I felt inspired to use my platform as a female entrepreneur, a privilege as an American woman, to support and bring awareness to this crisis. $610 pays for one year of education, so I made the goal $18,300 to support all 30 girls there.
