Microfinance Loans

Microfinance empowers Nepali women

The My Business My Freedom microfinance project is giving the village Nepali women the opportunity to grow their income through seasonal farming. This means they can keep their children in school and because they are able to stay in their own communities and earn a living, these women and their daughters are less vulnerable to trafficking. Many village women and girls fall prey to traffickers as they try to find jobs to help feed their poverty-stricken families.

3AN runs a number of income generating programs, some of which also provide vocational training opportunities for the Safe Haven women. These include the Bakery, Tailoring School, Beauty Salon, Printing Press and filtered Drinking Water provision from the Safe Haven home spring water.
