Stephanie Woollard OAM began Seven Women at age 22 after meeting seven disabled women working in a tin shed in Kathmandu. These seven women were struggling to make a living in the face of harsh discrimination. With her last $200, Steph paid for trainers to teach the women how to produce products for sale locally and abroad – and Seven Women was born.

 

Over the past 17 years Seven Women has made significant impact.

This was a fantastic experience. We cooked 5 different Nepali dishes. Best food ever!!! The best thing though, is that we know the money we paid will help women in need and disabled women.
