Cooperative campaign empowers freed Kamalaris in western Tarai districts

Forty-seven cooperatives have been established in Dang, Banke, Bardiya, Kailali and Kanchanpur for the upliftment of the former Kamalaris’ economic status.

Former Kamalaris—indentured girl child labourers—have been running a number of cooperatives to help each other be financially independent. Many of them have initiated their own businesses thanks to the cooperatives that they own and manage.
