The Nepali Women’s Global Network, St. Louis Chapter (NWGN-STL) is a 501C(3) non-profit, non-partisan, volunteer-based organization registered in the state of Missouri that strives to empower Nepali women and the Nepali community as a whole, in a supportive global network of friendship and understanding to promote shared responsibility that cultivates social change.
NWGN-STL is committed to empowering the community by empowering women. As such, NWGN-STL is organizing a Fall Fiesta Dance Party to raise funds to finance entrepreneurship trainings organized by Women into the New Network for Entrepreneurial Reinforcement (WINNER Nepal). The main objective of the training programs is to increase the capability of women entrepreneurs. The long term goal is to help equip the women entrepreneurs better to wade through stiff competitions they face in their professions with improved and updated knowledge of the technicalities of business.
Women in Nepal are generally at a disadvantage because of their limited education and the case is no different where women entrepreneurs are concerned. The problem is even more acute in smaller centers where women are barely literate and find the dealings of enterprises beyond their comprehension. WINNER Nepal has therefore taken trainings to women entrepreneurs based on their needs and changed the format as per the ability of the entrepreneurs it is trying to assist.
The themes for the trainings have ranged from Information Technology, Marketing, Enterprise Management and Handicraft Designing. The themes differ depending on the area where the training is being taken and the demand of the local women entrepreneurs. As of now, WINNER Nepal has successfully conducted a total of forty trainings that have directly benefited more than eight hundred women entrepreneurs as well as male and female employees of women-owned organizations.
NWGN-STL has been an ardent supporter of WINNER Nepal since 2009. Our goal is to raise $1000.00 from the Fall Fiesta Dance party either through attendance or donations. All donations are tax-deductible. Please help us in achieving our goal.
