WHAT // WHY // WHERE: NEPAL
EMPOWERING PRISONER
MOTHERS

Problem: Many women in jail have
children with them but don’t make
enough money to feed, clothe and
educate them. When they get out of jail
they are excluded from society.

Solution: Train these mothers to
produce handicrafts in prison and use
the income generated to help take care
of the children. When they leave
prison, they can continue working with
the organization to re-build their lives.



WASTE, WORMS, GROWTH

Problem: Katmandu generates about 435 tons of waste per
day of which 70% is biodegradable, but proper waste
management systems are lacking. This pollutes the air and
water and has sever health consequences for communities near
the dumping sites.

Solution: Provide employment, reduce pollution and generate
income through the production and sales of organic manure
from the biodegradable waste through vermi-composting.



OLIVES AT HIGH ALTITUDES

Problem: In remote rural regions of Nepal (Bajhang and
Bajura) arable land is inadequate and the survival of
communities are threatened because of the lack of food and
jobs.

Solution: Harvest a speciﬁc type of high altitude olive tree
that can be used to make olive oil that can be sold in the
international market for extremely high prices which will help
the community to improve their lives.



NEWARI DECOR

Problem: Newari culture is under threat of being lost
because traditional artisans cannot compete with the
cheap cruse replicas that are being mass produced.
Because they cannot compete, they have no income and
are forced to abandon centuries of traditional cultural
work.

Solution: Preserve the culture by commissioning art
and craftwork to display in a Newari museum to
educate people on this magniﬁcent culture. In addition,
a Newari house will be built in order to house tourists
on “homestays” so that the visitors will pay for the
experience and education as well helping to preserve
this ancient endangered culture.
