"A meeting with caregivers was organized during the donor visit to provide a platform for meaningful interaction and exchange. Caregivers had the opportunity to share their experiences, challenges, and the impact of the programs on their lives and communities. Donors were able to observe the ongoing initiatives firsthand, understand the needs of caregivers, and discuss ways to provide further support. The meeting strengthened communication between stakeholders and reinforced collaborative efforts to empower caregivers and enhance community development."
Fourteen Carers from Myagdi have been enrolled for cash award of Rs 27,000 each to start their small entrepreneurship. Congratulations to all awardees and sincere thank yo to Beni municipality and SANGAM Myagdi.
"The Carers AgroProduct Business Company meeting gathers team members to plan and coordinate initiatives that help local villagers. The focus is on supporting caregivers through agricultural projects, improving agro-product production, and creating income-generating opportunities. The meeting also serves as a platform to share ideas, make important decisions, and strengthen programs that empower communities and enhance the livelihoods of local people.
With LEADS support of two goats, one of our carers multiplied to 12, and income invested in vegetable gardening and pickle making micro industry.
When we empower carers, they are better able to provide empowering support to their loved ones with psychosocial disabilities. This is how we make recovery journeys meaningful and effective.
LEADS works with an aim to end the suffering of mentally ill people by using its CMH model.
Our work is based on the philosophy of building inclusive community where mentally ill men, women and children - through engaging in productive work - realize their own rights.
10th October 2024: World Mental Health Day.
We at Leads Nepal stand alongside the global movement in acknowledging the importance of mental well-being with this year's theme: Mental Health at Work.
Engaging Carers in economic activities to Influencing policy makers is our process of empowerment aimed for the wellbeing of people with mental illness and their family.
"Providing goats is not just about giving animals—it’s about planting seeds of hope and opportunity. This initiative empowers caregivers to earn a living, gain confidence, and support their families, while also fostering stronger, more resilient communities. Through sustainable livelihoods, it sparks lasting change and opens the door to a brighter future for all. #SustainableLiving #CommunitySupport #Empowerment #BuildingFutures"
"The Carer Leaders Training Event helps caregivers learn important skills to support their communities better. They get training in leadership, problem-solving, and working with others. The event empowers them to become confident leaders, improve care for those they support, and build stronger community networks."
"Single women in the Myagdi area have successfully begun generating their own income and achieving a degree of self-reliance through goat farming, with support from LIDS Nepal. This initiative not only strengthens their financial independence but also boosts their confidence and contributes significantly to social empowerment."
"In Baudikali, LEADS Nepal has distributed seeds for seasonal vegetable farming. This initiative helps farmers cultivate crops according to the season and plays a key role in ensuring nutritious food for households. It also enhances the skills and agricultural knowledge of local farmers, contributing to long-term economic empowerment and community self-reliance. Additionally, the program builds farmers’ confidence while providing opportunities for sustainable production and greater participation in local markets."
In Baudikali, women who are part of an organized group have been supported through the distribution of goats as a means of income generation. This initiative not only provides them with a source of livelihood but also empowers them to contribute to their household economy. Goat farming is expected to create sustainable income opportunities, improve nutrition through livestock products, and strengthen women’s participation in local economic activities. By engaging women in such productive ventures, the program promotes both financial independence and community development.
"Oppressed women are supported to speak out against violence and stand up for their rights. Empowerment programs help them grow personally and bring positive changes in their communities. Easy access to mental health services provides the support they need for emotional well-being. Together, these efforts aim to create a society where women are safe, confident, and able to participate in making social change."
Hard works pays off
A big congratulations to the Samraksha Kosayli Ghar (CARERS AGRO BUSINESS) team for winning first place in the Local Production Stall category at the 8th Myagdi Mahotsav and Makar Sankranti Fair! This is a huge achievement and shows the hard work, dedication, and passion that our team puts into promoting local products and sustainable farming.
A special thanks to Mrs Nisha GC Mahat, the Program Coordinator, for her excellent leadership and guidance. Her efforts have helped the team reach this incredible milestone. And thanks to her team in myagdi
This achievement not only highlights our commitment to quality but also showcases the incredible potential of local producers. Your efforts are setting a shining example of how community-driven agro-businesses can thrive and contribute to both local economy and culture.
This victory not only celebrates our success but also highlights the importance of supporting local businesses and products. It’s inspiring to see how Samraksha Kosayli Ghar is making a positive impact in the community.
Wishing all continued success and many more achievements in the future. Congratulations again to the entire team
In Dedhgaun, improved varieties of potato seeds have been introduced and distributed to group members as part of a trial initiative for income generation. The purpose of this distribution is to test the productivity and adaptability of these seeds in the local environment. Once the outcomes of this trial are evaluated, the successful results will serve as a foundation for expanding the program into full-scale commercial potato farming from the coming year. This initiative aims to encourage group members to participate actively in agribusiness, enhance their income opportunities, and ensure sustainable livelihood development through organized commercial agriculture.
Need for community organizations, Community Planning Process and networking training
On the first day, it's all about why community organizations are so important. They play a key role in solving local problems and improving people’s lives, especially in areas where government or private services don’t reach. These organizations support those in need, create opportunities for people to get involved, and help build stronger, more united communities.
We also looked at how they bring people together, build trust, and give a voice to those who are often overlooked. By using local knowledge and resources, community organizations can make real, lasting change. They’re a powerful force in creating communities that are more connected, resilient, and inclusive.
"A round of applause to everyone who completed the Business Skills Training program! By successfully finishing this training, you’ve not only gained practical business strategies and tools but also built a foundation for continuous growth. You now have the ability to solve complex problems, manage teams more effectively, and drive results with strategic thinking. These skills will set you apart in your career, opening doors to new opportunities, promotions, and professional connections. With the right mindset and skills in place, you’re ready to take on any challenge the business world throws your way. Your hard work has paid off—now it’s time to put your knowledge into action and achieve new heights!
We also want to send a huge THANK YOU to the incredible Trainer Surya Newpane Sir! Your warmth, wisdom, and unwavering support have made this training such a rewarding experience.

“A Bag Full of Dreams, A Future Full of Hope!”
When a child gets a bag, stationery, and school uniform, they gain more than things they gain confidence, hope, and a reason to keep learning.
This is what we did for our community in Nawalpur because every child deserves the right tools to build their future.
Every pencil, every notebook, every smile it’s a step closer to a better tomorrow. Let’s stand together to ensure that no child’s dream is left behind!
We extend our sincere gratitude to Baudikali Gaupalika President Prakash Ojha Sir for taking the time to join us.
