F.a: Maithili Empowerment Programme
Maithili Empowerment Programme. The programme seeks to increase a local partner’s capacity to respond to the needs of the Maithili minority in Southern Nepal. The 2.5 million Maithili of Southern Nepal make up the country’s largest ethnic minority. For merly known for their rich culture and traditions, the Maithili now live in poverty and have almost lost their unique identity. To address the needs of the Maithili, Fida partners with a local NGO called Relative Nepal, which belongs to the Assemblies of G od Nepal (AGN) church. The programme offers the partner hands-on training in community development work. The main approach used is that of Community Health Education. The work carried out among the Maithili communities includes e.g. literacy training, basi c education and cultural revitalization activities. Through the trainings and practical development work conducted during the programme, the partner’s capacities build up and, at the same time, the needs of the Maithili communities are addressed. Already one school has been established and children’s literacy classes started. These together will contribute towards the improvement of the quality of life in the Maithili communities.
