The Pratima Pokhrel Smriti Khosh is a initiative started by HBWCSN in 2018. In the memory of the founder chair Late Pratima Pokhrel fund was collected fromher family members, HBWCSN Board members, HBWCSN sister organizations, and other well wishers. The fund of Nrs. 600000.00 has been placed in fixed deposit and each year on her birthday we support daughters of most poor member/Homeworkers. The selected girl should be studying in government schools. They  are selected based on their family status and their performance in their class, and the support will be all materials needed for 1 year of education in their respective schools(dress, stationeries, exam fees, bag and sanitation kit etc . ). We support from 1 to more depending on the funds available.  The trend of  supporting girls child education has been a noble deed of late Mrs. Pokhrel and more than 100 girls have received support to complete their school education through this initiative.
