2. Mahila ko HaatMany families living in rural areas were displaced because of the insurgency. Children and other dependents sometimes became destitute when the bread earner(s) were killed. Those families were never compensated and often the remaining members lacked skills to make a living. In order to help such women from remote areas, women in Kathmandu decided to donate money to set up a fund that would finance the providing of skills to those impoverished women so that they could earn a living for their family. Mahila ko Haat decided to give women from Dalit and indigenous communities, as well as physically impaired women, priority in selecting participants for the training.
The following programs have been organized by Mahila ko Haat in collaboration with other organizations, including the Navajyoti Training Center:
1. Rural Women Leadership Training (6 months, residential)
2. Literacy Program for women deprived of an education (up to Grade 6, for housewives, who were illiterate because of financial problems)
3. Capacity-building training for the physically challenged (1 month)
4. Artisan Support Program
5. Awards Program
6. Education for children deprived of schooling (non-formal education for domestic helpers and street children, for three years)
7. Support for orphaned children (in cash and kind)
