Hands in Outreach has been transforming lives through education for the past 35 years. Shyam envisions more for her daughters, Yanu and Yamuna, than teen marriage, early pregnancy, and low-wage menial jobs – the majority of girls’ experience in Nepal. HIO’s sponsored programs make higher education obtainable for girls, breaking the oppressive cycle of poverty that comes from being female. Gendercide Awareness Project proudly supports HIO’s mission: When girls and women succeed, everyone benefits.
