#GNINepal recently organized a "Soil Testing Campaign" in Chaurpati Rural Municipality, #Achham District, as part of the Climate Smart Village project. The campaign tested 179 soil samples from various locations within the rural municipality. The tests assessed different soil properties, including pH levels, organic matter content, and nutrient availability. Farmers received testing reports promptly along with essential guidance on improving soil fertility and management practices. The Soil Testing Campaign aims to assess soil health and fertility and provide essential information for sustainable agricultural practices in building climate-resilient communities. By identifying nutrient deficiencies and soil conditions, the campaign empowers farmers to make informed decisions on crop choices and nutrient management, reducing vulnerability to climate-related stresses. Ultimately, this initiative fosters resilient agricultural systems, contributing to food security and environmental conservation in the face of climate change.

The world 🌍 is currently struggling with the severe impacts of climate change, further exacerbated by ongoing conflicts. These challenges have triggered high inflation and unemployment rates, pushing more people below the poverty line. In addition, deep-rooted discrimination and prejudices are still in practice in many parts of the world that hinder the well-being of marginalized communities and groups that have been left behind.  #GNINepal is committed to alleviating poverty in rural Nepal by promoting income-generating activities. Our efforts focus on providing quality education to underprivileged children, boosting the rural economy through loan linkages and startup support, developing value chains for local commodities, and fostering self-reliance among youth, women, and underserved populations. We also continually work to dismantle the social and economic barriers that prevent marginalized communities from thriving. On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we reaffirm our dedication to empowering these communities through our social and economic development initiatives.  #goodchange #EmpoweringPeople #TransformingCommunities

✨Food is a prerequisite for living and a basic human right. Nutritious food is imperative for good health and well-being. #GNINepal is committed to promoting chemical-free, ‘safe food’ production by advocating for natural farming methods and raising consumer awareness to choose healthier, safer food options. Additionally, we collaborate with local governments and cooperatives to develop value chains for local commodities such as vegetables, milk, apples, honey, and beans. As a pioneering agency in promoting food security in the remote areas of Karnali Province, #GNINepal takes pride in its efforts. On this World Food Day, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring food security and continuing our work toward a sustainable and resilient food system. 🙌 ✨ #goodchange #EmpoweringPeople #TransformingCommunities

🌟Rural women play a pivotal role in ensuring sustainable development. They are the true drivers behind food production, preservation of ecosystems, nurturing of family values, and care of children and elderly🙌. However, their immense contributions often go unrecognized, and they are not valued as they deserve to be. Since its inception in Nepal, #GNINepal has consistently witnessed the vital contributions of rural women in turning our vision of creating prosperous and safe communities into a reality☺️. Rural women have been our partners in various capacities—as members of mothers' groups, cooperatives, school management committees, health workers, female community health volunteers, teachers, ECED facilitators, child rights activists, and project participants. Their contributions have been essential in expanding access to education, health, and WASH facilities, nurturing children’s futures in rural areas, boosting  rural economy, advocating against menstrual discrimination, and promoting climate-resilient agricultural practices. 👍 On the occasion of the International Day of Rural Women, #GNINepal honors the invaluable contributions of all rural women. We remain committed to empowering, uplifting, and partnering with them to build more prosperous, equitable, and harmonious societies. 🙌✨ #goodchange #EmpoweringPeople #TransformingCommunities

Handwashing is imperative for maintaining good health, as it helps prevent the spread of diseases. #GNINepal promotes five essential hygiene behaviors by enhancing WASH infrastructure and raising community awareness. To ensure access to handwashing facilities for underserved communities, we build handwashing stations, drinking water systems (DWS), and gender-friendly toilets with menstrual hygiene management (MHM) facilities. Let’s mark Global Handwashing Day with a commitment to promoting handwashing practices.✊☺️ #goodchange #EmpoweringPeople #TransformingCommunities 

The world 🌍 is facing the harsh realities of climate change, with countries across the globe experiencing increasingly frequent and devastating natural disasters. Nepal, particularly its vulnerable populations, is feeling the impact of these changes, as seen in the recent floods, including those in the Kathmandu Valley. These events underscore the growing threat of climate change. #GNINepal remains committed to supporting affected communities through its disaster response and recovery efforts. Additionally, GNI Nepal is actively promoting eco-friendly and climate-smart agricultural practices to help vulnerable communities build resilience against the adverse effects of climate change. #goodchange #EmpoweringPeople #TransformingCommunities 

✨Prejudices and discrimination against women and girls often hold them back from realizing their full potential. Providing opportunities for them not only empowers individuals but also contributes to a better future for their families. At #GNINepal, we have always prioritized the needs of girls, shaping our interventions to address these challenges. Our sponsorship services are aimed at securing girls' educational rights. Additionally, we conduct life skills training and establish girls' clubs to enhance leadership and communication skills. To further support their growth, we implement initiatives that promote Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH), Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), and Menstrual Hygiene Management, ensuring that girls and adolescents can exercise their sexual and reproductive rights without discrimination. 😊 On this International Day of the Girl Child 2024, GNI Nepal reaffirms its unwavering commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment where every girl can dream big and realize her potential. ✨🙌 #goodchange #EmpoweringPeople #TransformingCommunities #IDGC2024
