OBJECTIVE OF THE FOUNDATION

​

The Foundation aimed to combat poverty and improve the living conditions of the underprivileged, particularly in Sri Lanka and Nepal, by establishing and/or supporting small-scale, effective projects and training programs aimed at self-reliance.

 

FOR WHOM?

​

The Foundation focused primarily on the very poorest, particularly underprivileged women initially in Nepal and Sri Lanka, and later also in Brazil, who find themselves in a vicious cycle of poverty.

​

OUR POLICY PLAN

 

WHAT DID WE WANTED TO ACHIEVE?

​

Improvement of the living conditions of underprivileged women from the lowest social class to enable them to provide for their own livelihood.

 

OUR WORKING METHOD

​

Orange Angel strongly believed in the power of collaboration with good, local, and small-scale organizations, combined with the Foundation's own involvement. Orange Angel also helped these organizations make their activities even more effective in the long term by contributing ideas and providing advice.

​

PROVISION OF MICRO-CREDIT LOANS in Nepal

​

Orange Angel provided microcredits to women in Nepal who had successfully completed our own sewing training in Kathmandu. With a small credit, a sewing machine could be purchased and fabrics bought. Many women were thus able to build a regular client base. The credits were monitored by our local organization in Kathmandu, All Angels Nepal.
