Development projects in Nepal

In our villages, women and girls are STILL using old rags, causing infections & disease. Besides this during their monthly cycles women are considered impure and it is for these reasons that many girls are forgoing school. Sanitary Pads & items of hygiene are equally expensive and they'd rather buy food. So by this Menstrual Hygiene day, we plan to provide 200 girls in 5 different schools with Sanitary pads, dustbins and soaps for maintaining menstrual hygiene followed by Awareness classes!

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.

Women in traditional Hindu culture marry in to their husbands' families and live in their husbands' multigenerational homes. This set up provides security as long as a woman stays within it. But if a husband is dying young, the wife will be blamed for the untimely demise of her husband and she will remain stigmatized for the rest of her life. If she was "unfortunate" and gave birth to daughters only and a male inheritor is absent her husband's family might refuse to care for them.

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.

In remote hills of western Nepal, girls are often isolated in cattle sheds or small huts each month during their periods, as part of a cultural practice called chhaupadi. Not only do girls face embarrassment over menstruation, but they often are exposed to real danger -- from extreme weather, smoke inhalation and attacks. Days for Girls is changing that narrative from one of shame to celebration. A local training team of Nepali girls and women are leading the charge.
