Over 70% of our funding comes from donations, sponsorships, and membership fees.

Becoming a member is easy and you will be added to our email list for twice-yearly newsletters, special event notices and advance notice of our Annual General Meeting. Annual membership is only $35.00 and it is tax deductible.

Becoming a donor is easy as 1-2-3 and any amount over $20.00 is given a tax receipt. We welcome any donation. You may specify which program you would like your dollars to support. Groups of people are sometimes very creative in raising donation funds.

If you want to share your donation story or what you have done to raise funds for IWEN please send it to IWEN's Administration Office. Please add a note to your story giving IWEN permission to publish your text and/or pictures. It will be shared in IWEN's Newsroom or newsletter. Send your "Donor Stories" to us

Becoming a Sponsor is easy and changes the life of one young Nepali girl or woman forever. You can choose in which program you want to support a young girl or woman or leave it up to IWEN's discretion.

Interested? Get started right now...

Over a 100 IWEN students are still in need of sponsors. We introduce you to a few of these special young ladies below. These Tharu girls have either been rescued from illegal bonded labor or were prevented from being sent due to IWEN scholarship support. Because they belong to the Tharu ethnic community all of their last names are "Chaudhary".

However if YOU choose to make a SMALL choice in sponsoring one of these girls, you will be making a BIG difference in her life. YOUR choice assures her education till grade 10 high school graduation. Only a mere $25.00 per month.

Buy A Brick

For $100 you can buy a brick with your family name on it and have it installed on the walls of the school. You could also dedicate the brick to someone you care about. All proceeds from this will go directly to the Cause and you will be provided a tax receipt for your contribution.
