KATHMANDU: MetLife Foundation is partnering with Pourakhi Nepal to build health and financial resilience of women entrepreneurs who are potential migrants, existing migrants, or returnee migrants.
Under this project, Pourakhi will work to strengthen the efforts of these women to build their financial health to sustain their livelihoods, as per a media release.
The support, totalling $50,000, will be used across four key pillars: Entrepreneurship, Access to financial services, Linkage to markets, and Peer-to-peer learning.
Pourakhi will drive these efforts on the ground in Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Makwanpur districts to support around 15,000 women. This project is being coordinated with MSC Global Consulting.
