We take pride in successfully aiding women to develop new enterprises to enhance their skills and strive for empowerment over their own companies.

Mountain Waste to Crafts by Nepali Women

For Mountaineers, the climbing rope is a symbol of safety, their lifeline. During expeditions, the lives of mountaineers literally hangs by a thread i.e. a Climbing rope.
Unfortunately, these very ropes are also one of the most common items left behind in the mountains after expeditions. On top of that, they are one of the most difficult items to recycle.
Under the Nepal Army Led- Mountain Clean Up Campaign 2021 & 22- one of the largest Mountain Clean up Campaigns in the world, these ropes were collected from eight mountains of Nepal, viz., Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Amadablam, Pumori, Mananslu, & Kanchanjunga.
The vision of the campaign’s official recycling partner, Avni Ventures to not let any of the waste collected from the mountains to go to the landfills, gave birth to the idea of upcycling them into beautiful, functional products. These ropes have undergone series of processing by women at Avni Ventures. In Partnership with Nepal Knotcraft Centre, the craft-persons and weavers from the indigenous communities of Nepal have coiled the climbing ropes with natural plant fibers to transform them into this beautiful product.

Cheers to a remarkable 2080, where we embraced the essence of community, intertwining nature with women’s livelihoods. As we explore deeper into traditional skills shaping them into contemporary forms, fostering both income and admiration. Our journey safeguarded age-old wisdom, enriching lives while preserving heritage. And together with the talented wonderful Viola, we crafted ‘a tapestry’ using ‘invasive’ water hyacinth, symbolizing our commitment to ecological harmony. Here’s to 2081, a year where our aspirations flourish, weaving dreams into reality.
