My team and I are committed and passionate about advocating for the rights of women and children in Nepal and CAC-Nepal has played a vital role in the fight for access to education and economic empowerment for women and children and in the field of HIV and AIDS.

We believe that the empowerment of those we work for and with is the key to truely sustainable economic and social development for the women and children of Nepal.
