Womansday
It is International Women’s Day. In Nepal, this is an important day that does not go unnoticed: on this day, the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women are celebrated. Girls and women in Nepal are the key to lasting improvement of the situation in the country. As long as the position, education and status of girls and women are not fundamentally supported, strengthened and improved, Nepal will never progress. You simply cannot improve the situation in a country if you do not take half of the population seriously and/or do not value it. And Nepalese girls and women are formidable: powerful, tough, strong, enterprising, loving, caring and above all inspiring. I4 Smiling Faces is very proud that for years they have been able to help young people – and especially girls – in Nepal to realize their full potential. And we succeed again and again: this year, 7 girls have completed their education thanks to a scholarship from 4 Smiling Faces and are now working on their own future.
