Tewa Grantmaking to Nepali Women's Groups
Nepal's own women's fund, built on locally raised money and volunteer grant committees rather than on a foreign donor's programme cycle — the model that made Tewa a reference case for community philanthropy in South Asia. It raises funds that go directly to diverse Nepali women's organisations and groups, including groups in districts that international funders rarely reach. For a social work researcher this is a route to community-embedded partners and to the kind of local, small-group grantee that participatory and community-based research depends on.
