Year 2 Complete
Year 2 of our Girls Empowerment Program in Nepal is now complete, it was a huge success and we could not be happier with the results. We have now reached well over 5000 individuals directly and we have millions of viewers to our weekly TV show spreading the news of our work, and female empowerment throughout the whole country.
Your support over the last 2 years has directly changed the lives of hundreds of young women for the better, not just in day to day situations, but in creating a far brighter future for the girls’ families and communities.
The girls have taken great pride in sharing their new knowledge and skills to peers in rural areas of the region, passing on vital messages of gender equality, female empowerment and the rights of young women in Nepal.
Our relationship with both national and regional government grows stronger all the time. With national recognition of our program and it’s benefits, the girls are being asked to speak and present in other municipalities, something that 2 years ago would have have been unheard of.
This year has seen a big change in some of the parents’ views of the program and its value.
Prior to the program’s inception, a number of the girls parents were wary of allowing their daughters to attend, or nervous about female empowerment in general.
Now, however they are seeing real positive change, not only in their daughters but as a family unit.
Please find more details of the everyday activities and training for the girls in the year 2 round up video. It provides imagery along with information and the girls’ parents are interviewed at the end.
