The McConnell Foundation, hereafter referred to as TMF, has been steadfast in its support for MSBKN's establishment for a decade and a half, disbursing a total funding amount of $5192806 from 2008 to 2023. The funding provided by TMF has been instrumental in fostering women's leadership in social, economic, and socio-political spheres.
Over the past 15 years, this funding has supported more than 22000 women, enabling them to transform their lives and become financially independent through income-generating activities. TMF has provided each village women's groups in 12 districts a revolving fund of Rs.4,00,000,000 (Four Crore) to use as capital in order to advance women's economic empowerment and financial independence. Increased gender equality and overall empowerment have resulted from TMF's promotion of women's leadership and representation in public institutions, which has also improved the socioeconomic circumstances of women in Nepal's rural areas.
In Nepal's rural areas, the TMF partnership with MSBKN has made a substantial contribution to women's empowerment. TMF has been instrumental in changing women's social and economic circumstances, resulting in greater financial independence and improved decision-making skills, by sponsoring women's leadership and representation. This partnership has shown to be an essential catalyst for the advancement of women's empowerment in all spheres of life, giving them the skills and resources they need and take on leadership roles in their communities. TMF's dedication to women's empowerment is remarkable, and it sets a great example for how partnerships may be leveraged to effect lasting change.
