Kumari Chepang

Kumari lives in our Chepang community with her husband and 7-year-old daughter. She is a housewife and her husband is a laborer with an irregular income. To feed her family, she grows seasonal vegetables and raises goats. She is also the team leader of the Beltar Group (Beltar goat breeding group). Kumari is honest, hardworking, and always interested in discovering new opportunities for her family and her community. That’s how she came up with the idea of a tailor shop.

There are no local tailors who make clothes in the entire community. So we supported her idea and enabled her to train as a tailor.

Kumari began her tailoring training in March 2025 and has now successfully completed it. She is eager to establish herself in this field. To do so, she needed the appropriate equipment, such as a sewing machine and accessories. Tara Namaste helped make this possible, and she is now looking forward to starting her small business.

Kumari now has the opportunity to establish herself in the tailoring trade and contribute to her family’s livelihood in a sustainable way. This is a positive example of individual direct aid for all involv ed.

Additional income for women

The women of the Chepangs are basically equal to the men.

They would like to contribute to the family income, but there is a lack of opportunities in this region. The Tara Namaste Foundation wants to enable them to earn extra income by doing handicrafts at home. This way they do not have to leave the children alone. The women are trained and the necessary tools are provided. We started with macramé work. We have made a start. During our last visit, 18 women learnt to crochet in a week of training. They have already made some attractive potholders and nets, which they will be able to make to order over the next few months. The women are eager and happy to participate, eager to learn new things and happy to earn extra income. We want to look for further opportunities in the future and realise them with them.
