[2015 to present] Income-generation Activity for Impoverished Women in Kathmandu valley, Nepal
(with KOICA, 'Public-Private Partnership Program'/ Chang Pil-hwa School Fund / Community Chest of Korea/ Gyeongsangbuk-do Multicultural Family Support Center)
DoRunDoRun launched its Nepal project in 2015 in cooperation with KOICA. It established a local NGO, Asia Women Bridge Nepal (AWBN), jointly with EKATA and, through this organization, conducted a series of income-generation activities for impoverished Nepalese women. Then the Gyeongsangbuk-do Multicultural Family Support Center and the Community Chest of Korea funded the project to set up a bakery factory and cafes named “DD.” From 2022 to present, DoRunDoRun continues the vocational training in Nepal with a gender perspective, matching the Chang Pil-hwa School Fund with its own funds.

Funded by 'Gosarison(Little Hands)Fund' of the Korea Foundation for Women (KFW), DoRunDoRun provided stationery for students at the Saraswati School at Bhaktapur, Kathmandu Valley, and conducted activities to strengthen their rights to education.
