Plans are under way for the first of a number of new projects we will be launching this year – Defying Gravity!
This initiative follows on from our Daisy Chains project and is designed to give women with that extra bit of drive and ambition the assistance they need to establish their business and really make a difference in not only their own lives but the lives of other Nepalis around them.
To do this, we will be awarding up to 8 scholarships to women who submit a business proposal that includes the following:• basic estimate of the start up costs;
• projected running costs and earnings;
• expected environmental impact and strategy;
• marketing plan; and
• outline of the ways in which their business will benefit Nepal.
Nepal is rich in many natural resources and there are a number of products indigenous to the country that could be exploited for the benefit of communities. In the current political climate there is also a large and capable labour force desperately needing employment. For these reasons we feel that this project is an exciting way to tap into these factors whilst maintaining our focus on education and training opportunities for women.
More details about the project can be found at our website or by contacting us. We are in particular looking for individuals and corporations who may be interested in sponsoring 1 or more of these scholarships that would change many lives in Nepal forever. Please get in touch if this is of interest to you.
