Kitchen garden for one family ($25)
ETC promotes kitchen gardens to women's group members to introduce the cultivation and consumption of a wide variety of vegetables and leafy greens that improve the family diet. They also learn new agricultural skills that help them in all their farming endeavors. By giving a loved one a kitchen garden you help a woman improve the food security and income of her family, as well as conserve and use natural resources sustainably.

Literacy for one woman ($35)
Barely 35% of Nepali women are literate. But when women are able to access and understand the written word, a world of potential opens before them. While ETC's Women's Development Program has grown to encompass the formation of women's groups and cooperatives, the creation of savings and loan associations, and initiation of a host of social and economic development activities, literacy training remains the starting point. Help a woman learn to read and write by giving the gift of literacy.

Toilet for one household ($50)
Every women's group member is provided with materials needed for constructing a toilet (including a septic tank) which improves family hygiene and keeps the surrounding environments clean. Studies have shown that this is one of the most significant tools for improving public health in developing countries. By giving the gift of a toilet, you can help families lead healthier and happer lives.

Legal Literacy for one women's group ($75)
Legal Literacy teaches women about their fundamental rights as women, as Nepali citizens and as human beings. Literacy classes are an intensive 2 hours a night, 6 nights a week for 3 months. With legal literacy training women truly begin to understand their strength as a group and emerge as community leaders. When you give legal literacy, you make a difference by giving women knowledge that makes a difference.

Animal housing for one farm ($100)
ETC's Agriculture Program actively contributes to public health. Women's group members are shown how to minimize or eliminate the use of agrochemicals, improve solid waste management and dramatically improve the quality of their living space by building proper housing for farm animals.
