Tharu Women Upliftment Center

Tharu Women Upliftment Center is a non-profit organization based in Nepal that has been registered to receive federal grant awards from the U.S. government since August 2015. The organization appears to work on issues related to community development, wildlife conservation, and child protection.

Tharu Women Upliftment Center has received one prime federal grant award from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters for a project titled "SETTING UP COMMUNITY-BASED LIVESTOCK AND CROP INSURANCE SCHEMES TO STRENGTHEN HUMAN WILDLIFE COEXISTENCE IN BARDIA NATIONAL PARK, NEPAL". This $84,975 project grant aimed to set up community-based insurance schemes to support human-wildlife coexistence in Bardia National Park, Nepal. The organization has also received two sub-grant awards from World Education, Inc. as part of a project supported by a core group of civil society actors in Nepal. These sub-grants involved participating in capacity assessments, developing action plans, and implementing activities to address child labor, forced labor, and violations of acceptable work conditions. Through these sub-grants, the organization aimed to leverage partnerships across Nepal's child protection networks to facilitate access to services for survivors of labor abuses and reduce the risk of adults and children being forced into harmful work.
