Story
One of WIN’s primary functions is to help bring sustainable solutions to communities that face bleak economic lack. By partnering with local leaders, WIN is able to help provide opportunities for economic growth, development, and ultimately, sustainability. During the world-wide shutdowns, our incredible partners answered the call to help provide funds needed to feed and serve those most impacted, including one of our partner communities in the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
With support from our partners, WIN issued a small grant and in only 1 ½ months, 15 families are now sustainably employed in three micro-businesses, including a sewing center.
The sewing center has been creating items like facemasks and aprons, both of which have been in short supply. Through partnership with WIN and the hard work of the local leaders, these businesses will continue to expand, providing more opportunities for more families, resulting in a community that is empowered and thriving - a win-win.
