When women are empowered to build entrepreneurial businesses, improve their incomes, and gain financial independence, family nutrition also improves, particularly for women and children.
Across Heifer International programs, trainings on gender, finance and nutrition, along with interventions across the value chain, are improving the operations of farmers' cooperatives. In Nepal, a systems wide approach is breaking barriers to position women into cooperative leadership and more ownership in the value chain, elevating women’s status at the household and community level and improving gender equity and nutrition across the country.
