Women Empowerment Project

Contribute to sustainable, long-term women’s empowerment initiatives when you travel to Nepal. Join a team of international volunteers and help give women and young girls access to equal education, health care and income opportunities.

With lots of the female population and countless girls still not receiving a basic education, supporting women in Nepal is vital to helping overcome critical social issues such as poverty, depression and unemployment.

By supporting women in society and giving them access to equal opportunities such as an education, jobs and health care, everyone benefits. More children stay in school, incomes increase and the cycle of poverty can be broken. By assisting sustainable initiatives for women in Nepal we are empowering them with the knowledge that they can and will, achieve what they want in life. The Sharmila Foundation can provide the opportunity for a good education and provide pathways for employment.

In Nepal women are born into a society that is still having to face social inequalities ranging from gender-specific abortions, mistreatment from their spouses, eve teasing, being married off at an early age and in some cases being denied an education by their families. Through our initiatives in Nepal, we aim to assist in gender equality through various educational, healthcare and income initiatives and empower local women by educating them on their rights and the opportunities available to them.
