Empowerment for women like Ganga means gaining control over their lives, making informed choices, and having resources to pursue their goals. With targeted support from INF Nepal’s Community Health and Development (CHD) project, women in marginalised communities are realising their potential, supporting their households, and building brighter futures for their families. Through increased income, Ganga, for example, was able to invest in her children’s education, breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering the next generation.

Forty-two-year-old Ganga Lawar, a single mother from Dadatol in Badimalika Municipality, Bajura, took on the role of sole breadwinner after her husband’s passing six years ago. Back in her village, she faced the challenge of providing for her three daughters. With only 3 kaththa (0.06 acres) of marginal farmland, Ganga ventured into goat rearing to create a sustainable income.

Joining the Ekitrit Lagani farmers’ group, she began saving monthly and, with the support of INF Nepal’s Climate Change Adaptation and Livelihood Project, received training and resources for modern goat farming. Through a grant of Rs. 25,000 [USD 188], she expanded her herd from two to ten goats, investing in better goat shed materials and feed. Selling several goats, Ganga earned Rs. 60,000 [USD 450], gaining financial stability and securing funds for her daughters’ education and household needs.

With regular saving habits, Ganga has now accumulated Rs. 22,000 [USD 165] in her bank account, and her confidence has grown alongside her thriving farming venture. Today, she faces each day with newfound financial security and pride, free from the uncertainties that once held her back.
