Testimonials

Deepa Sapkota (Mahila swabhalambi Krishi sahakari sanstha, Gaidakot)
Through the bio-fertilizer training at Unnati Cultural Village, I have gained practical skills and confidence. I now know how to make EM fluid and feel ready to start my own small business. With the support of UNNATI, I’m motivated to go door-to-door and sell the product, becoming more independent and self-reliant.

Honorable Gandaki Province Minister Ms. Bindu Poudel
The 10-day training on Product Design and Diversification in Natural Fiber Crafts was truly empowering, equipping participants with valuable skills to grow their craft and market reach. I appreciate UNNATI’s dedication to community empowerment and cultural preservation and look forward to future collaborations.

Craft Lady, Rajana Shakya
As a women entrepreneur working to promote unique Nepali handmade products—such as prayer wheels, corn husk dolls, lokta paper crafts, and fridge magnets—mainly focused on souvenir items, the support from the UNNATI has been truly transformative. Through our partnership with CG Foundation, I’ve gained greater market visibility and valuable exposure, helping me showcase the beauty and cultural significance of our local crafts to a wider audience. This has not only boosted my business but also empowered me to continue preserving traditional Nepali artistry while creating livelihood opportunities for other women artisans.”

Cotton care, Hasana Maharjan
The UNNATI program has significantly contributed to the growth of my textile business by facilitating access to new markets and customers. I work with cotton fabrics, utilizing both digital screen and block printing techniques to create products such as cushions, bedsheets, and table runners. This support has been instrumental in advancing my journey as a woman entrepreneur and in gaining well-deserved recognition for our designs.
