Community Hub Progress Report

Context: One in five women are violated at least once in their lifetime in Nepal. A safe public space where women can effectively learn and lead is very critical. The community hub will provide safe co-working space, resources and workshops to strengthen leadership & entrepreneurship to at least 30 young women in Nepal in one year. This space is an opportunity for young women to have access to safe co-working spaces, collaborate with each other, foster their ideas, and strengthen their networks.

 Progress so far:  Our participation in the GlobalGiving Fundraising Campaign helped us raise $7,826. Our goal is to raise $40,000. Currently, we are looking into avenues to raise the rest of the money, and find affordable location to start the community hub. Despite, the long journey of raising $40,000 we are determined to raise the amount within a year. We also plan to start a basic community hub running by the end of 2017.

 Next steps: Right now, we are working on the following ideas to get the community hub started:

  • We are exploring and reaching out to more individuals to receive donations, including building partnerships with local enterprises who can help us reach our goal.
  • We are looking for affordable location within Kathmandu to lease the space for starting the community hub.
  • We are recruiting a part time team to oversee the planning and execution of community hub by the end of 2017.
