Rural Women’s Development and Unity Center (RUWDUC) Nepal is a nonprofit organization that supports rural development programs in environmental conservation, health care, and women’s empowerment throughout the far-western region of Nepal. Join us for an in-depth discussion on the organization’s exciting 2023 initiatives with RUWDUC’s Executive Director, Kamal Rawal, and Population Connection’s Senior Analyst, Hannah Evans. Hannah traveled with Kamal to several of RUWDUC’s project sites this past November and will be sharing stories, along with photos and videos, from their trip together. Kamal will discuss the scope of RUWDUC’s work in collaboration with Population Connection, especially following our newly expanded partnership in 2023.
