and providing opportunities for them to use these skills to make a living allowing them to support
themselves and their children.

widows or have been abandoned by their husbands. being a single woman in nepal brings social
stigma and exclusion, therefore making if extremely difficult to gain employment and raise children.

embroidery and sewing, making it possible for them to earn money for their families working either
for the Asha Ghar Women Center or for other handicraft making centers in the region.

in gaikhur village which supports impoverished women and children by providing them free medical
check ups and medicine.
