𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐀: 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐥 Women and youths constitute the demographic majority in Nepal; however, they remain the power minority. This inequality must be addressed to ensure the inclusive economic development of Nepal. Since 2013, Daayitwa has been dedicated to its vision of an enterprising Nepal, where every individual has opportunities for a prosperous future. Through Mission Aasha, we aim to build robust partnerships, garner support from the Nepali diaspora, and foster inclusive growth in rural communities of Nepal. This is a unique opportunity for Daayitwa, the Nepali community in the U.S., and subnational governments in Nepal to come together for a national cause. Our initiative aims to empower rural youth and women to accelerate entrepreneurship and employment opportunities in rural Nepal. Together, we can create lasting impact and amplify the hope that lives in Nepal. Stay tuned for more details in upcoming posts.
