'SOLD' BECHIYEKI
Our Program is off and Running

  • At this time we have retail distribution and promotion by Educational Book House in Kathmandu to dozens of booksellers country-wide, and to hundreds of community and school libraries.

  • On Radio Nepal, Bijay Poudel has read the Nepal language edition of Sold, 'Bechiyeki,' as part of the Legal Aid Consultancy Center (LACC) women's rights program called 'Wakalat'. This 40-installment series was broadcast to 31 of the 75 districts of Nepal. CDs and cassettes of this series will soon be available for distribution.

  • "The Didi Project featured the newly translated book "Bechiyeki" at a recent book exhibition in Kathmandu. The book is now on sale for Nrs. 300 ($4.28) wherever Nepali language books are sold. The retail price will be lower with our next printing.


    • $1 buys a book to save a girl's life.



    School and Vocational Scholarships

    A number of very deserving and needy young students as well as older vocational students are now studying in private schools sponsored by the Didi Project. We know these students well and follow their progress with great interest on annual visits. Our students often become an integral part of the Didi Project family. They help us with our work each fall and keep in touch via email during the year.



    Networking and Partnerships with key programs and people

    Most years, the Didi Project sponsors a networking conference in Kathmandu. Community leaders from many helping groups gather together to share their program goals and methods. We are very fortunate to enjoy working relationships with so many Nepalese and foreign experts. Our list of partners and colleagues grows each year.



    Trekking with a purpose

    Each year friends and colleagues join us in Nepal for a cultural and scenic trek of several weeks. We encourage our guests to "go to work" with us. We share Nepal's wonders often in the homes and schools of local friends. Trips are very personal and usually include some hiking and visits to out-of-the-way places by hired cars with drivers or by plane. We arrange the program, in part, according to the preferences of our visitors. Consider joining us this year!
