ABOUT
HERO CAMP'S GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT FOR EMPOWERMENT, BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE. HEALTH EDUCATION, LEARN ABOUT NEPAL, AND HAVE FUN!
Each year Tsering's Fund Board Members and Tsering's Fund volunteers select 20 young women from our sponsored student family and take them on a trip to see things they would otherwise never experience. These trips allow the girls to feel safe and loved while they learn more about their country and their future role in it. It allows an opportunity for deep conversations with mentors there to inspire and empower.
What does it mean to empower these young women? Simply put, there is power in knowledge. It is why we at Tsering’s Fund are so passionate about seeing young Nepali girls being educated.
There is power in understanding your body and how it works; how menstruation works. Power in understanding and breaking the stigma of menstrual taboos and discrimination. There is power in understanding sex, love, and life. There is power in knowing your worth; in knowing you are your husbands equal, in knowing that your mind is brilliant, and that you have the capability of supporting yourself financially and breaking the cycle of poverty. And there is power in understanding the light within yourself. How you are capable of spreading that light among your peers and holding one another accountable.
The majority of these young women come from incredibly poor and often remote villages. Hero Camp allows them to experience many firsts, from learning to swim, hiking to exciting locations, zip lining, boat rides and staying in a hotel. These activities show them they can accomplish many amazing things. We educate them on women's health and their legal rights. The girls will experience things they will never forget.
We believe that empowered women empower women. And that is what Hero Camp aims to do. Heroes creating Heroes.
