Our Women Empowering Women group, in partnership with Samunnat Nepal, is a week into their trip in . Our co-founder, Sarah, shares the highlights👇🏽 🇳🇵

“The first week of our trip has been a beautiful reminder of why we travel this way. Seeing the impact of Project Didi’s work through our partner, Asha Nepal has been deeply moving. Exploring villages in the Chitlang Valley and being welcomed into a local home was a real privilege, offering us a deeper understanding of life in rural Nepal. An unexpected highlight was sharing a meditation at a temple dedicated to Bajrabarahi, the goddess who protects women. These moments of connection, learning and reflection are what make this experience so special — we feel excited for what’s yet to come!”

What a start to our Women Empowering Women trip to ! 🇳🇵

Yesterday, our group met with our long-standing partner, Asha Nepal to learn about their evolving approach: moving beyond providing care for survivors of to preventing violence by helping families stay safely together in their communities.

Our co-founder, Sarah, and long-time supporter, Maggie, also met some of the families Asha supports, including young women living independently and continuing their education, and single-parent households navigating insecure incomes. We’re grateful to Asha and these families for hosting us and sharing the challenges they’re working hard to overcome for their children.

After a few more days in , the group will travel west to at the foot of the Annapurna Range to visit creative enterprises, organic farms and historic towns, before heading to Chitwan National Park.

We’re looking forward to sharing more of their adventures! 🏔️✈️

We are deeply saddened and horrified by the scale of the destruction caused by the flash floods in Nepal last week.

We’re very relieved to confirm that our partner organisations, Asha Nepal and Samunnat Nepal, and the women and girls they support are safe. Neither organisation operates in the areas directly affected by the floods.

The brilliant guides of our Nepal trips at Himalayan Sunrise Trekking and Tours and World Horizons, who many of you have travelled with, are thankfully also safe.

While safe our partners and friends in Nepal have lost loved ones and have friends and extended family who are missing or have lost homes. They are deeply feeling the impact of this disaster. We’re heartbroken for them and the country we love.

Nepal is, sadly, no stranger to natural disasters — but it is also a country of incredible resilience, strength and resourcefulness. Nepalis have shown how they come together in the face of unimaginable hardship to rebuild.

Thank you for all your many messages of concern and offers of assistance 🙏 We are assessing how we can best support our Nepali community and will share an update soon.

Our partner never fails to show the power of a holistic approach to trauma recovery!

🎉With Project Didi moving into its second decade, we've been working on some exciting changes with our partner .

❤ has been transitioning from its Family Based Care program to a Family Strengthening program.

🤝This new program will continue to support survivors of trafficking and violence, but Family Strengthening shifts its focus on keeping children with their families when it is safe to do instead of prioritising residential care.

More than 1.5 million children are working on cocoa farms — missing school, exposed to hazardous work, and denied their childhoods.

🌎 Globally, official estimates say 138 million children are in child labour.

But newer research suggests the number may be closer to 400 million, nearly 1 in 5 children worldwide.

These are not “distant” problems. They are woven into the chocolate we buy.

🐰This Easter, choose brands working to protect children and transform supply chains.
