Women entrepreneurs in Nepal - Seven Women

Anne and I spent our last afternoon here in Nepal visiting the Seven Women office/workshop in Kathmandu. Our new Spanish friend Javier recommended that we try to connect with Anita Kerr - the (who Javier had met delivering aid to remote villages after the earthquake) and we were glad we did.
Seven Women Nepal believes in a model of sustainable development. The first centre was established in 2006 with seed funding to provide handicraft training to seven disadvantaged women who were found operating out of a shed by Stephanie Woolard -the visionary Aussie who created Seven Woman. By good fortune, Stephanie was in Kathmandu and we got to meet her and Anita and had a tour of their facility and met the women who work there. 100% of the money raised by buying their products goes directly towards funding skills training and employment for some of the most impoverished women in Nepal.
