The Janakpur Women’s Development Center is a women’s run NGO based in Kuwa village in southeastern Nepal. Its mission is to promote Mithila arts and empower Maithil women through the generation of income from their skills in making art and crafts. The center’s administration undertakes marketing for the artists and secures the best ecologically-friendly supplies, such as low-impact printing inks and natural cotton and paper. Through our proposal to make pottery, we encourage people to use more of clay pots to mitigate the effect of climate change.
