Volunteer Program in Women Empowerment Women Empowerment Program :(Minium 1 Week to 5 Months) Women Empowerment Program nepal HFN offers an opportunity to work with women and developing empowerment within them. The project focuses on women and children from the worst affected areas of the country. It provides a systematic approach to uplift women within the Nepalese society and provide a secure future to the children, through various volunteer programs and activities. Many women and children are survivors of conflict and those from rural areas are working in miserable and vulnerable conditions. They fight for survival, and often put their education, health, development and life at risk. Many of them are also working as bonded laborers and domestic maids who are often traumatized and abused by their employers and seniors. Young girls and women are especially vulnerable in such cases. They require adequate counseling and guidance in order for any form of rehabilitation to occur. Through social reintegration, the fundamental goal behind the program is to enable women and children to regain their rights, identity and status, by reintegrating those women and children back into society, who were initially separated from their families and homes. Rehabilitation is most essential for those who have lost their entire family and lack any form of social support, have no property and have been displaced due to the conflict. This is done by rebuilding their self esteem and self confidence, by empowering them with both education and skilled training. We aim to help women who have been victimized due to both maoist and government force. We provide shelter and other necessities of such victims. If you have additional skills in any extra- curricular activities, then you are more than welcome to implement them.
