Nepal has incredibly high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality resulting from preventable issues such as severe bleeding, infections, high blood pressure, birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen at birth), and complications related to preterm birth. One Heart Worldwide is addressing these high rates of mortality by creating a "Network of Safety" around pregnant women and their newborns to combat these very preventable causes through the training of skilled professionals and facility upgrades.

This project is the debut of new program for women to use filmmaking and storytelling as platforms to advocate for social justice. We'll launch the sessions in October in Nepal - and beyond in 2018. If you care about equality, if you understand the importance of speaking up, if you love stories (and know their power to change perspectives), join us in creating a world in which important stories are told by the communities that know them best in order to promote justice and equality for all.

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.

In rural Nepal, impoverished families have been selling their daughters to be bonded servants. The Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF) provides the family with a goat or piglet as substitution for the daughter's wages, brings the girl home and ensures her access to education. Now that NYF has freed over 12,000 girls and has nearly eradicated the bonding practice, it has shifted its focus to empowering girls to be activists against bonding and providing vocational training followed by job placement.

HOPE has partnered with a local organization, Women for Peace and Democracy Nepal (WPD), and identified two communities struggling to recover. A year after the quake, families are still working hard to rebuild.
