Himalayan Hands
Adult Education Project – Pokhara Sewing Education
We recently found an opportunity in Pokhara, Nepal to provide sewing training and equipment for 13 women. Their husbands travel to the Middle East to find work and are obligated to remain for 3 years saving money (very little) to bring home. While they’re gone the wives work the land to raise and sell crops to maintain a tiny income to support the family. During the off-season they have no means of income. We provide an instructor and sewing machines and materials to allow them to learn a skill that will translate into support for their family.
