Review: Building up Healthier Communities in Karnali, Nepal 2008-2011
Since the inception of Mission East WASH activities in Nepal in 2008, access to clean water and better hygiene practices has significantly improved. The reduction in time for fetching water has reduced the work load of women, enabling them to provide better care for their children. Additionally, the improvement in hygiene behaviours and availability of safe drinking water reduced the prevalence of water borne diseases which was the case before the implementation of the project. KIRDARC, the local implementing partner made it possible to enhance access to water, hygiene and sanitation promotion by utilizing its organizational capacity and experience including knowledge on socio-economic profiles of the communities.
Leaflet: Women Empowerment Project in Karnali, Nepal
The World Development Report 2012 from the World Bank argues that gender equality is a key component for better development.
Mission East, together with its partners KIRDARC and WWS, realized that, to be able to raise their voice, women of Karnali need to have a chance to become literate, need to understand their rights and the process of local development.
To address such issues, and with the financial support of the Danish Project Advisory Technical Center (PATC), Mission East, KIRDARC and WWS (Women's Welfare Services) have developed the project “I have a Voice: women advocating for development in Nepal”, for the districts of Humla and Mugu.
