Skill Training - Production/Merchandising Dry Food

When women come to the shelter, they know they will be learning new skills so that they can be self sufficient and support a family.  WFN works diligently to provide life skills and business skills so that these women can take a proud place in Nepali society.

Dry food training programs teach women to make dalmod, potato and yam chips as well as bhuya mix.  This program is held outside the shelter, and is instructed by a woman with extensive experience in the field of food production, small business management and marketing. 

WF has received financial support to purchase a packaging machine which is needed to ensure that the dry food is packaged in a hygienic and professional way.   Dry food production is an easy skill to learn, requires minimal equipment and can readily be sold at local markets.
