Women LEAD

We empower young women to take leadership positions alongside men in Nepal by providing them with the skills to pursue their vision for change.Women in Nepal face overwhelming challenges: 1/3 of girls aged 15 to 19 are married and 60% of women are illiterate. Young women have the passion and vision to solve these problems, but simply lack the necessary resources. We build the capacity of future female leaders to tackle root causes of poverty and discrimination. We have equipped 200 promising…See More

Yes, the issues are very similar for women: child marriage, low literacy rates, poverty. That's why we work with our age group: 15 to 18 is a critical time when many young women's paths are directed out of school and towards marriage. As in India, there are more and more political opportunities for women, so there are a lot of positive reforms underway.

I'd love to hear more about your trip to India and your background!
