CDO Nepal, in collaboration with the Kyeema Foundation, is implementing the Promotion of Women Empowerment and Rights (POWER) project in Ward 14 of Godawari Municipality.
It designed to uplift women from marginalized brick, carpet, and underprivileged communities by promoting organic vegetable farming, nursery management, entrepreneurship, and direct market access, POWER equips women with the tools to transform livelihoods.
Its integrated approach—combining skills training, productive assets, seed capital, micro-savings, and market linkages—enables participants to secure stable incomes, improve household nutrition, and move away from hazardous labor.
With deep community trust and strong implementation capacity, POWER is built to be scalable and sustainable, aiming to economically empower over 100 women and indirectly benefits 1,000+ community members
It Contributes to Sustinable Development Goals:
- No Poverty – reducing economic vulnerability
- Zero Hunger – strengthening food security
- Gender Equality – empowering women as leaders
- Decent Work & Economic Growth – fostering dignified livelihoods
- Climate Action & Environmental Sustainability – promoting eco-friendly farming practices
This program is a transformative livelihood model that break free from poverty. By blending hands-on skills training, access to resources, financial inclusion, and market linkages, it creates a sustainable ecosystem where women can thrive as entrepreneurs and community leaders.
✨ What sets it apart:
