The women’s empowerment classes at Hands in Outreach ‘s educational center in inner-city Kathmandu gave Nani her second chance at an education. Here she is pictured with her daughter Naina who is excelling in the 2nd grade thanks to HIO sponsorship. Though Nani barely earns enough for rent and food while working as a domestic, she believes in the power of education; she and Naina enjoy reading and writing together at night. Gendercide Awareness Project proudly supports HIO and its mission to steer women and girls toward individual and financial stability.
