Chetana Women Skill Development Project

located in Pokhara, Nepal, is a non-profit, non-government supported organization.
Its objective is to provide the skills necessary to become self reliant for poor and needy women in relation to material cutting, sewing, weaving, dying, business management and various other skills related to handicraft production.

The skills trained by Tara, the lady who started the project, will directly benefit the women, their families and the future of their children.
