It has included major projects, activities and programmes accomplished by the organization during the year. It also covered the geographical coverage and lesson learnt for the whole year. Adding executive summary and glance of silver jubilee celebration are few novelty of the report that readers can expedite and perceive their feeling accordingly.

Since the inception, MADE-Nepal has been facing different ups and down in the course of community development. It has encountered with sweet and bitter experiences on community mobilization and dealing different developmental issues. Wherever the experiences we have, we strongly committed to our strategic framework and organizational vision to the community people, partners, donors and government.

We believe that the true essence of this report must be of the community, students, researchers, donors, staffs and all developmental practitioners. However, due to immense duties and unavoidable circumstances among directors, coordinators and publication team, we could not flourish the report more presentable, precise and analytical manner. Nevertheless, we were able to muster contribution from all staffs and likeminded persons of the organization. So we would like to salute those involved directly and indirectly in the preparation of this annual report 2016/17.

Finally, we are thankful to board of director, executive director and concerned project coordinators for their invaluable support in the designing and preparation of the report. We hope our commitment to community development for making prosperous Nepal and happy Nepali will always be pushing us continuously in a positive direction. Thanking you.

I feel so amazed when I flashback my situation before one and half year ago”, says, Anita Gurung, 31, resident of Lukuna, Muchchok. Mrs. Gurung is a marginalized Janajati woman who was deserted by her husband and, now, is living with her parents playing a role of house head. She had misery even in maintaining a rural family standard from the practices of subsistence agriculture in small land holdings. Though, longing to be an independent and successful woman, she was not able to forward her steps primarily, due to her poor economic status.

Mrs. Gurung, now, is a chairperson, of Laligurans Dhaka Kapada Production Group. She along with other women were provided with 3 months of basic (16 women) and 2 months of advance level (4 women) training. She shares that, now, she has been able to sustain her family with income from Dhaka Production. She adds “Besides my increased income, I feel I am highly empowered in terms of leadership and other interpersonal skill”. At present, she has been providing training to 7 trainees at Bhackeck. Now, she has been a sample of independent women in her community. She have link to different stakeholders, duty bearers, traders, and many more. She shares that community people have changed their perspective towards her.

In future, she is craving to be a successful Dhaka entrepreneur at national level. Furthermore, she is inspiring other women to be involved in Dhaka entrepreneurship and uplift their economic and social status. She is very thankful to MADE Nepal for providing her a platform to make her dream come true
