Ganga’s hotel

I met Ganga when visiting our project area she told me about a group that she had set up Bahundanda Mother's Group, Lamjung.  She herself had been left with four children all girl. She spoke to me about the way that the group had been attempting to raise awareness by dancing to the groups of trekkers going through the Lamjung area, it being part of the Anna Circuit trekking route.  I danced with them that night and that is how I got involved with this group of women.   She had so much life and told me that after her husband died it had been so hard for her and so many women that had been left alone in the mountain area.  She mentioned that she could sell teas and coffees at her rented home to trekkers and also items that everyone required on a day to day basis.   
I decided that this lady had so many ideas that we would help her.  We provided cups and pots and basics.  We painted the outside and put a sign saying supported by Hi-Cap UK. I will be visiting this shop in April and hope to see how this little shop of Ganga’s is progressing.   Here are a few pictures.
