Our newest project is to create safety and support for women victims of violence in the remote Himalayan mountains of Sankhuwasbha District.

Over 25% of Nepalese women experience domestic violence, and remote areas have no shelter to offer them safety in times of emergency.

95% of girls and women across Nepal report first-hand experience of gender-based harassment or violence. Sambridhi Ghar will provide safe shelter and build community awareness of women’s issues and rights.

When women need help, no official shelter currently exists for them to find safety, guidance through the legal process, mental health support, or resources for becoming self-reliant. Our goal is to create a place where women can access legal support, learn more about their rights, feel safe from violent situations, and begin to establish themselves independently from abusive situations. 

Our intension is that this will serve as a model for similar safe houses in neighboring mountainous districts.
