In many rural areas of Nepal, menstruation is shrouded in stigma and taboo. Women and girls often face isolation and restrictions during their monthly cycles, prevented from cooking, attending school, or even sleeping inside their homes. To challenge these harmful norms, HCC conducts Health & Hygiene Outreach Workshops, offering vital education, emotional support, and practical resources 📚 In February, HCC team members Mun Maya and Hira led a menstrual health seminar in rural Dhading, where 75 girls (in grades 8, 9, and 10) attended. Each student received a menstrual kit generously donated by Maitri Gives, an organization dedicated to uplifting girls and women across Nepal through holistic support 💛 Support HCC and help us empower girls and women across Nepal! 👭 🌐 Learn more today at: https://www.hccnepal.org/outreach-projects/ #empoweringwomen #BreakingBarriers #HCC #SupportEducation #BuildingTheFuture #womensupportingwomen #DignityForAll (fb)

🐾 Our PEAK students -Ganga, Angela, Sunita & Tulsi- volunteered at the Kathmandu Animal Treatment (KAT) Centre in Budhanilkantha, caring for rescued dogs and cats, many of whom have been abandoned or injured. Throughout the day, our students remained dedicated: cleaning kennels, replenishing water bowls, ensuring the animals had spaces, and offering food, treats & affection. Some animals were shy, others energetic, but all responded warmly to the love and attention they received. “This was probably my favorite part,” one student shared. “Some dogs were super playful, while some cats just quietly sat near us. It felt really good to know we were making them feel safe and cared for.” 🐱🐶 📲Visit our website to learn more: https://www.hccnepal.org/ #HCC #kindnessmatters #nepal #volunteering #communityimpact #empoweringyouth #makeadifference #animalwelfare #furryfriends (fb)
