BPW Germany & BPW Nepal a Successful Joint Project  in Pokhara by BPW affiliates

Pokhara, a sub-metropolitan city, with close to 200,000 inhabitants, lies some 198 km west of the capital, Kathmandu. Pokhara lacks the capital‘s good infrastructure. As in other parts of Nepal, women have become victims to political and social upheaval. BPW Nepal has dedicated itself to developing and furthering the enormous untapped potential of women.

However, these great goals cannot be achieved without funds! Since such funds are not easily found locally, BPW Germany has chosen to support a specific project in Pokhara.

In October 2007 a project to provide computer training for underprivileged women and girls was launched. BPW Germany took over the startup funding of a PC training centre and also supported the purchase of office equipment and furnishings as well as the payment of the salaries of the instructors. The women enroll for a 2 month course to date 230 women have completed the beginner course.
