Great news! Eleven members of ETC’s current women’s groups, as well as members of our supported cooperatives in past project areas, ran for office at the local level in May elections – and several of them won! Pictured here is Chandra Maya Thami, a newly elected ward member in Babare VDC. ETC is proud to have helped these women gain the personal confidence and skills that enabled them to step up to greater public roles. (Photo by Rajanee Kunwar)
