Dhruba Ghimire: I want to improve Nepali women’s lives via education （I）

It was at Thamel Kathmandu where I first met Dhruba Ghimire. He and Uma, his wife, took one hour bus ride from Chabahil to pick me up. This tall thin man it’s the initiator of RUWON– Rural Women’s Network Nepal. Nowadays, hundreds of women in neighborhood take various classes of Nepali language, English, Mathematics, and Dance in Sagarmatham, a local primary school, from 5pm till 8pm, every Sunday till Friday.
RUWON, the organization which determines to evaluate the lives of the Nepali women, has been established for four years. Now it has two branches in Nepal: one in Sindhuli, Dhruba’s hometown and the other in the country’s capital, Kathmandu. Dhruba works full time in the organization, together with ten volunteers who forms the major staffs within both branches.

We can’t be fragrant without water
We can’t be sunny without water
We will be wilted without water
We will become the stone without water
How could you decorate the capital of maple leaf at that time?
Calvin Chin: One can produce more value when engage in some tasks he himself is considering meaningful

JM: Do you encourage students to go into the field of Social Enterprise? And Why?
Calvin Chin: Yes, I strongly encourage all undergraduates to consider SE. While each person has their own life pressures and may not be able to start a company. They can all consider joining an SE or volunteering for one. In fact, Qifang is always looking for young people to work with us, not only because we think they are smart, talented and bring a lot of good ideas, but also because we want to help encourage people to be social entrepreneurs. Why? Because while I think it is the most rewarding to be working on your own projects, to be working on something where you can really feel that the work that you do has meaning and can make a difference, this is even more the case when you are working on an SE. When you know that the work you are doing can make a difference for society, for our country, or even just for one individual or their family – that can inspire you to work your hardest, to be your best.

Description:Richard believes that a lot of different entrepreneurial models are available, which broadens the definition of Social Enterprise. For example, a company that consistently donate to NGOs and/or provide services for societies’ wellbeing can be considered a Social Enterprises. However, the definition of Social Enterprise is different from the Western to China; due to the restriction of NGOs in law in China, a lot of NGOs are registered under the category of Social Enterprise. Richard and his co-workers are still trying to identify Social Enterprise in a proper way and understand how the Social Enterprises are being operated.
