Organized with the continued support of ActionAid International Nepal (AAIN), the event reflected the growth of HerCraft Nepal as a women-led social enterprise that brings traditional Nepali craftsmanship into contemporary markets. The initiative has created sustainable income opportunities for women artisans, contributing to long-term economic resilience and community well-being.

The exhibition featured creations that highlighted the skill and dedication of women artisans. All proceeds from the mela will be reinvested to strengthen women’s economic independence and support community development.
