I visited Nepal from 24th of October to 10th of November. This time Sangeeta and I spent a lot of time visiting some of the “old” WAWCAS women to follow up on how they are doing. It was so inspiring to talk with them, and it felt really good to hear how they are still in business and develop their business ongoing.  Ratnamay is one of these “old” WAWCAS women, and

The implementation of the WAWCAS Data System gives a basis for better possibilities for analysis and development. Getting the complexity of the WAWCAS Program into a type of software that could be integrated with WAWCAS’ Data System has been quite challenging. However, together with our Data Team, the programmer managed to get the work done. And as a result we now have our own fully functioning WAWCAS online Data

Nine WAWCAS groups merged and developed the Margadasan Multipurpose Cooperative By; Krishna Maharjan, Finance Officer – WAWCAS Program  Most of the nine WAWCAS groups in Dhamelikuwa has merged and developed the Margadarsan Multipurpose Cooperative. This is a big step. The last groups in Dhamilikuwa completed the WAWCAS program in 2015 still have regular savings and loans within their groups of 25 women every month.   Mira Mishra, Sharada Chiluwal and their group gathered most of the WAWCAS women for the idea of establishing a merged cooperative, and they established Margadarsan Multipurpose Cooperative. Mira and her team

Sarika Rawal, Teamleader – my experience in Denmark  I am Sarika Rawal, team leader in Kathmandu.  Thanks to my team who supported me preparing for the workshops in Denmark. I had a lot of thoughts, when I heard that I was going to visit Denmark together with two of the WAWCAS women from Kapan. However, due to visa problems, they could not come with me. It was very sad that our women did not receive the visa. However, we moved on as we always do. Visit to Denmark, wow!! That was also my

650 new women started in the program and are now on a good track on their way to a deeply changed life for themselves and their families.  We still reach our high rate of success regarding 99% repayment of the loans, all children going to school and a big decrease in alcohol misuse and domestic violence – two parameters that follow each other.  We have had to say good bye to two very good LPLs, Chandika and Rajina. They both got married – congratulations to both – and they are planning to move out of the country. We also had to say good bye to

Jeg besøgte Nepal fra den 24. oktober til den 10. november. Denne gang brugte Sangeeta og jeg meget tid på at besøge nogle af de “gamle” WAWCAS-kvinder, for at følge op på, hvordan det går dem. Det var SÅ inspirerende at tale med dem, og det føltes rigtig godt at se, at de stadig driver og udvikler deres forretninger. 

At få kompleksiteten af WAWCAS Programmet ned i en type software, der skulle kunne integreres med WAWCAS’ Datasystem, har været ret udfordrende. Men sammen med vores Data Team formåede programmøren at få arbejdet udført. Og som et resultat heraf har vi nu vores eget fuldt fungerende online WAWCAS Datasystem.  Hver af de kvinder, der er inkluderet i programmet, er registreret i

Mange WAWCAS grupper gik sammen og dannede Margadarsan Multipurpose Cooperative  Skrevet af; Krishna Maharjan – Økonomichef, WAWCAS Nepal De fleste af kvinderne i de ni WAWCAS-grupper i Dhamelikuwa har sammen dannet ét stort kooperativ. Det er et stort skridt. Den sidste gruppe sluttede WAWCAS træningen i 2015. Alle grupperne mødes stadig i de enkelte grupper og sparer op og
