Preserving traditions, strengthening village communities through KETAAKETI microfinance

The first men's group in Nepal works with KETAAKETI microfinance.

For five years, SPOWC has been supporting a village in Kavre district with interest-free KETAAKETI microfinance and pass-on. The women grow potatoes, raise goats, set up sewing workshops and much more. For the past year, there has also been a group of musicians who perform at festivals and weddings. They are the very first men's group in Nepal to receive microfinance. The next group of young men are already waiting to get started themselves. They have already bought their own instruments by passing on the money from the first group and are now being taught how to play the instruments by the musicians.
