🇳🇵Celebrating our Nepal partnerships 🇳🇵
As we wrap up 2024, we also celebrate the incredible success of our three COVID Recovery Round partnerships in Nepal as they too wrap up. We want to thank them for their incredible work in successfully scaling innovative, eco-friendly solutions that have improved the lives and livelihoods of local communities!
They are:
🌾 KHETI : Consciously Farming, Consuming: Through this partnership between DV Excellus, Upaya and the Australian Government, Kheti has improved smallholder farmers' access to markets and promoted sustainable farming practices, transforming Nepal's agricultural landscape while supporting local communities.

🧱 Build up Nepal: In collaboration with Engineers Without Borders Sweden / Ingenjörer utan gränser, S&S Management Services and the Australian Government, the award-winning Build Up Nepal has empowered rural entrepreneurs to produce safe, affordable, and eco-friendly bricks. These bricks even helped homes withstand last year’s devastating earthquake in Nepal.

The partnerships were recently showcased at the BPP Expo held online, and also at the Australian Embassy, Nepal, where they shared their inspiring work with partners from across the world, including Australia, Bangladesh, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Vietnam and more.
We’re excited to continue following the journeys of these impactful partnerships and look forward to sharing more updates soon - stay tuned!
Until then, we wish them every success as they work towards a more sustainable future for Nepal and beyond!
