#InternationalLiteracyDay USAID’s Esho Shikhi Project, implemented by Winrock, resonates with its efforts in driving equal learning opportunities for all students, including girls, boys, children with disabilities, and those from marginalized backgrounds. In collaboration with the Directorate of Primary Education, the project works to enhance teachers’ capacity to foster gender-responsive teaching and learning environments within the classrooms. To offer valuable insights to all teachers nationwide, the project developed and disseminated a booklet “Creating Gender Responsive Teaching-Learning Environment’ to 65,567 government primary schools in Bangladesh, including 10,000 schools directly benefiting from the project's initiatives. The project has oriented 8,300 Head Teachers and 232 local education officials across 12 intervention districts on these gender issues. The project also distributed more than 100,000 books and story cards highlighting cultural contexts, diversity, and inclusion issues to improve the Bangla reading skills of Grade 1 and Grade 2 students, as independent readers. https://lnkd.in/ewa6ZbTE #LiteracyDay #LiteracyDay2024 #Education #LocallyLed #HumanRights #Empowerment

Meet Hari Shankar Sah, who has been running the "Jeet Shankhar" hotel in Birgunj, Nepal, for the past 20 years. Faced with rising LPG costs and smoke from charcoal, Hari switched to the Metallic Improved Cooking Stove (MICS) from Husk Power Nepal. This efficient stove, powered by bio-mass pellets, has significantly reduced his energy costs and improved the working environment for his staff, saving him Rs. 30,400 annually. Winrock International is proud to be a part of this initiative through the Nepal Renewable Energy Programme (NREP), helping promote innovative, renewable energy solutions.

The USAID Upper Lempa Watershed Project, implemented by Winrock International, focuses on the headwaters of the Lempa River, one of the longest in Central America – and the largest river in El Salvador. The project engages government, communities, environmental groups and other stakeholders across El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to improve the health and resilience of the Upper Lempa Watershed, directly impacting the wellbeing and water security of approximately 180,000 people in the three countries. We asked Chief of Party Ana Deisy Lopez Ramos and her El Salvador-based team how the Upper Lempa Watershed Project collaborates with partners to help communities and government of the three nations achieve their aims for this critical natural resource. #WorldWaterWeek #WaterSecurity #CleanWater #Sustainability #Localization #Climate #ClimateSolutions https://lnkd.in/evaUQVyt
