Tracy Messer Saad hasn't added a story.
I'm Tracy and on 28 December 2018 I will be embarking on a two week trip to Nepal with Central Queensland University as part of my Bachelor of Education (Secondary) degree.
Please help me to raise funds for the Seven Women foundation!!
I will be travelling to Nepal to spend time at the Seven Women Center
in Kathmandu. Seven Women is an incorporated not for profit
organisation, who are socially and economically empowering
marginalised and disabled women in Nepal through skills training and employment.
Their story began in 2009 as a grass roots development project
to create change for seven women who were found operating out of a
tin shed and enduring harsh discrimination as a result of being
disabled. Seven Women founder and Australian, Stephanie Woollard
first met these women and invested in training in the hope that
gaining a skill would give them a means to earn an income.
During my two weeks in Nepal I will be undertaking a program which provides practical learning experiences in the areas of fair trade practices, gender inequality, human trafficking, environmental threats and sustainability through social enterprises.
My hope is that when I travel to Nepal I can donate funds to Seven Women to assist them to continue to empower girls and women.
Our contributions goes a long way:
EDUCATION
Literacy & Numeracy, Gender Awareness and Women's Health are courses run both in our headquarters in Kathmandu and at remote rural villages in which we work.
SKILLS TRAINING
Women are trained in crafting products for both the export and their
local market.
Knitting, sewing, felting and dress making are
among the courses we conduct.
INCOME GENERATION
Savings and loans, opening bank accounts, basic business training, micro finance programs are run throughout the year in Kathmandu and rural villages.
