More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
We have partnered with The Women's Foundation in Nepal, and they already have a great program in place. However, their program is facing a crisis of capacity. They cannot provide enough housing for the women and children that have come for seeking refuge and assistance in building a new life. We are adding the additional capacity needed to continue an already successful and multi-faceted program.
Activities
The house has a capacity for 12 women, and currently has 8. In addition to offering a safe refuge for these women, we offer training programs to help them become self sufficient for their future.
