What's Happening

Mentors International®, along with partners CHOICE Humanitarian and local savings and loan co-ops in Nepal, have been successfully providing mentoring and business development trainings for a year and a half.

In November of 2019, Mentors started a contest among business training participants. Those who were applying the principles they were being taught were entered in the running to win a plastic greenhouse in February 2020. This greenhouse would allow them to continue to grow vegetables during the offseason. This contest was suggested by our in-country mentors as a means of encouraging more participation in training classes.

This contest was well-received throughout the community. Participants were truly trying to implement the new training principles that they were learning. Yes, three individuals were quite excited to win new greenhouses, but everyone was a winner as they started seeing the progress and growth within their small enterprises. Mr. Kedar Raymajhi, Ms. Maiyya Devi Karki, and Ms. Radhika Karki were the three winners of our Mentors training contest.
