Charitable Courses
We proudly work with and recommend the courses run by the “Seven Women” charity in Kathmandu. Seven Women educates, employs and supports disabled women in Nepal and provides them with a means to grow and support themselves through financial and social empowerment. 12 years after meeting the original seven women in a tin shed that inspired the charity, over 5,000 women have been educated, trained and employed by Seven Women!
Seven Women now train and employ disabled women to run a Cooking Course, Craft Course and Nepali Language Course to help fund their programs of which we are delighted to be able to offer to you.
