Saying goodbye to 2021- The Didi Foundation Year

Regardless of COVID and the numerous lockdowns of 2021, The Didi Foundation has always moved forward and taken every opportunity to rise above disasters. With our amazing staff, we continue to unfold and grow with the sole vision of bringing equality to all and empowering women to reach their full potential. Our 2021 snapshot video gives an overview of our 2021 year.

With gratitude

This would not be possible without our amazing staff and volunteers. A special thanks to:

  • CEO, Sudip Koirala
  • Office Manager, Jyoti Dahal,
  • 2IC, Deepak Achhami
  • General Staff, Sameer Pudasani
  • Sewing teacher, Sadhuram
  • Didi Staff

I would also like to thank Kageshwori Manohara Municipality Mayor Hari Krishna Thapa for his continued support.

None of this would be possible without our wonderful sponsors and the Australian Board of Directors:

  • Linda Alcorn, Linda Rayson, Sue Millican, Kate Partridge and Nyah Anderson who are extremely passionate about our work in Nepal.
  • Together with Northlakes Toukley Rotary and Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS)

With this amazing team, I am so excited to move forward into 2022 to see what unfolds
