IMPACT
Women’s Skills Development Organisation (WSDO) is a non-profit Fair Trade organisation that has been working since 1975 to empower economically disadvantaged, vulnerable and excluded women – who had no education, were dependent on or abused by their husbands or generally in poor health due to lack of money and other tough realities.
In 1994, the WSDO was formally registered, and became a founder member of Fair Trade Group (FTG) Nepal. In 2002, it joined the International Fair Trade Association (IFTA), now the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). As Fair Trade organisation, WSDO ensures fair wages and production processes that minimise environmental impacts by using local and raw materials along with eco-friendly dyes.
