Invitation to ADWAN's Silver Jubilee Charity Gala on December 2, 2023 हार्दिक निमन्त्रणा !
Namaste!
We are thrilled to invite you to ADWAN's historic Silver Jubilee Charity Gala, an event that celebrates 25 years of dedicated service towards creating a more just and equal society for Dalits, marginalized girls and women of Nepal.
The gala will be held on December 2nd in Jersey City, NJ, and your gracious presence and support, either in person or virtually, would mean the world to us. Join us as we celebrate our achievements and look forward to a future where everyone is given a fair chance to succeed. There will be a silent auction, stories from the field, and much more.
Our mission to empower and better the lives of marginalized girls and women of the Dalit (untouchable) caste in Nepal, has grown from one small savings and loan group in an isolated rural mountain village to impacting the lives of over 150,000 individuals throughout Nepal.
Highlights of ADWAN’s first 25 years include:
-Creation and support of ADWAN Women’s Groups, in three distinct areas of rural Nepal, engaged in a variety of self-sustaining, economically viable activities.
-Educational support for Dalit and marginalized girls through purchase of school uniforms, payment of school fees, and learning support.
-Training and practice in leadership, decision making, and running a successful business for members of the women’s groups.
-Training and practice in specific skills like mushroom, vegetable, and flower farming.
-A new USAID funded project to produce and distribute sanitary pads to rural populations including through partnerships with local schools and increased awareness and education around hygiene and women’s health.
Learn about these successes and much more at the gala as we hear the stories of these resilient women who are the true agents of their own change, transforming their lives and communities by replacing deeply ingrained social ills such as caste-based discriminations, gender-based violence, and illiteracy with newfound dignity and self-determination.
We invite you to be a part of this inspiring journey. Your support has the power to transform lives and create a promising future for these determined rural women. Through your donation and participation in this gala event, you will be contributing to a world where hope prevails, and equality thrives.
Together, let's make a difference in the lives of marginalized communities and pave the way for a more compassionate world.
