House of Prosperity in Nepal Himalayas opens

Sam­rid­hi Ghar (House of Pros­per­i­ty), is a col­lab­o­ra­tive project between Moun­tain Mad­ness, Chang­ing Lives Nepal, and All The Sky Foun­da­tion to serve the women of Nepal. With the help of dona­tions and col­lab­o­ra­tion with the local gov­ern­ment a build­ing was pur­chased, staff hired, and bed­rooms fur­nished. Chang­ing Lives Nepal pro­vid­ed the fol­low­ing update;

“Serv­ing a region of 158,000 peo­ple, Sam­rid­hi Ghar (House of Pros­per­i­ty) is safe space for vul­ner­a­ble women liv­ing in the region near Makalu, the fifth high­est peak in the world. The house will pro­vide pro­tec­tion, food and shel­ter, coun­sel­ing, and con­nec­tion to med­ical and legal ser­vices for women cop­ing with domes­tic vio­lence, rape, traf­fick­ing and oth­er sit­u­a­tions where they are at risk.

Begin­ning this sum­mer, our team will also con­duct region­al out­reach across Sankhuwasa­va Dis­trict to help shift atti­tudes and cul­tur­al norms about the soci­etal prob­lems that Nepalese women face. They will be work­ing to increase aware­ness about women’s rights and the local laws and resources avail­able to help pro­tect women.
