Income Generation Programme for Women
VIN has formed 9 groups of women at Jitpur for Income Generation Programme for women. We have been running this programme in association with District Education Office (DEO) Kathmandu. DEO will provide the technical support and VIN will do the rest. For the purpose, each group has to raise 10,000 Rupees ($150) and we will have to match the funds i.e. VIN will add 10,000 rupees to their funds. Our volunteers team have been conducting different activities to prepare for the programme.
The women have to be busy only in their household chores and they do not have any sources of income. They have to be dependent on their husband. Their husbands also do not have any good source of income and spend their time all day gambling. Their children do not have education materials they need and do not attend school regularly. VIN therefore aims to promote women’s skills for generating income providing essential skills, e.g. mushroom production, candles making, insence making, bee keeping, goat keeping.
The difficulties of the programme is that the women are financially so poor and they have said they can not collect that much money. VIN therefore request individuals or organizations to support on the endeavour. Your small contribution will help the women in the community to develop their skills for income generation and can initiate their small business on their own and can support their children education.
