Nepal Muslim Women Welfare Society (NMWWS)


NMWWS is a non-partisan, non profitable and non- discriminatory organization serving the marginalized, disadvantaged and resource poor community particularly, to Muslim women of Nepal. The role of these non-government organizations has been witnessed to be pivotal in sensitizing and creating awareness among all sections of the society. Guided and motivated by this very phenomenon, a pragmatic team of social workers initiated the creation of this organization in order to complement and supplement the national plans, policies and priorities of the Government of Nepal.
NMWWS has been serving the Muslim community by mobilizing the unused and underutilized resources (human and natural resources) available within the society. It has also undertaken significant activities that have enhanced the production and productivity of the economy as a whole. In the mean time, it has helped the society in creating awareness through advocacy, and strengthening the leadership capability of the hitherto excluded and disadvantaged groups. Socio-economic Development and the empowerment of the Muslim women through their own participation have been the significant achievement of the organization so far.
With the view to achieving holistic development of community and especially to improving living of those targeted groups, NMWWS has been implementing multidisciplinary type of projects in partnership with donors and supporting organizations since its establishment. It has gained considerable understanding on root cause of the social issues and challenges, and knowledge and experience from its past experiences.
The area of expertise of NMWWS are advocacy, human rights, democracy, women's political participation, violence against women, non formal education for adult women, skill training for income generation and community development activities.
