How does Yes Helping Hand empower the Community?
At Yes Helping Hand, We believe in Empowerment through Employment in Nepal. Founded in 2011 in Pokhara, Nepal, our mission is clear: to empower specially-abled individuals, marginalized groups, and single mothers by providing free training, employment, and a chance to reclaim their independence.
Empowerment Through Employment
One of the main ways, Yes Helping Hand empowers the community is by providing fair employment opportunities. Many of our workers face physical disabilities or socioeconomic hardships, which limit their access to traditional job markets, by offering hands-on training in traditional Nepali handicrafts like Cashmere Weaving, Dhaka weaving, hand knitting, and carpet knotting. Yes Helping Hand opens doors to sustainable employment, allowing workers to earn a fair wage and support their families.
Every artisan is covered by NPR 5,00,000 accidental insurance from their first day of work, because the people who make our products deserve to feel secure, not just employed. It is a benefit rarely offered by small artisan organizations in Nepal, and one we consider non-negotiable.
