Brief Description of the Project:
The project aimed to mobilize community members by providing a seed fund to establish a revolving fund within the community. This fund was rotated as credit to help poor individuals start and strengthen small-scale enterprises, thereby generating income. In addition to financial support for income generation, the project also funded the development of small-scale infrastructure projects that benefited the entire community.

Monthly savings and credit practices were established, enabling members to start income-generating activities, with the fund accumulating to NPR 890,000.
  • The project provided capacity-building and skill-development training in various income-generating sectors. Additionally, it offered grants for small-scale infrastructure development to further support community initiatives.
