Thirty-five-year-old Durga Bahadur Karki, who was struggling financially, reached out to SOS Children’s Village Gandaki for some support. The organisation then provided educational support for his five-year-old son, allowing him to start school. Durga also received livelihood assistance through the family strengthening programme. With this support, Durga built a proper shed for goat farming and renovated the buffalo shed.

“I make ghee from buffalo milk and sell it. I also sell goats for meat and baby goats for farming. Additionally, I grow some vegetables on my small piece of land. This is how we are living our life,” said Durga. Durga also had the opportunity to participate in micro-entrepreneurship training, absorbing every bit of knowledge to secure a better future for his family.

“I am happy with what I have been able to achieve so far. Now, I plan to open a grocery store in the nearby market so that I won’t have to do as much physical labor. My wish now is to provide my son with as much education as he desires,” Durga expressed.
