Bhutan Foundation Supports Two Women-Focused Self-Help Groups in Haa

Two women-focused self-help groups from Uesu and Katsho communities in the Haa District excitedly received new coolers and a deep freezer last week.

Each cooler can store up to 100 liters of milk, 200-300 pieces of cheese, and 50-100 kgs of butter. The deep freezer will be used to collectively store 350 liters of dairy products such as cheese, butter, and yogurt. These supplies were provided to encourage dairy farmers to scale up the production of local dairy products.

“We are happy to say we can now increase the shelf life of our cheese and butter and safely transport our products to our local market,” stated a woman farmer who owns two cows. Apart from selling seasonal potatoes, the sale of dairy products is the most feasible source of income for this community as it can be produced throughout the year. The members shared their plans to further expand and diversify their dairy products starting with clarified butter (ghee).

The Bhutan Foundation and US Agency for International Development are working with the Bhutan Association of Women Entrepreneurs (BAOWE) to support women-led self-help groups across Bhutan. The goal of this program is to enhance local agriculture and livestock production and keep women farmers employed and out of poverty during the pandemic and beyond.

Support Dziseldra, Empower Yourself
Dziseldra was free for more than a year and to sustain ourselves we relied on sponsorships and advertisement revenue, including Google ads. However, the support we received fell short of covering our operating costs, let alone compensating our hard working team. Hence, we had to make the difficult decision to transition to a subscription-based model. By subscribing to Dziseldra, you not only gain access to a wealth of information but also help us drive innovation and empower our community. Together, let's forge a path towards a brighter Bhutan

Do I need to subscribe in order to apply for jobs?

No, subscribing is not a requirement for applying to the jobs advertised on Dziseldra. You can directly contact the recruiting company and follow their application process. However, subscribers gain the benefit of accessing clear instructions on how to apply, provided on all our job posts.

If you can read this, we know you are smart enough, but please don't be pathetic enough to use the service and not be able to pay Nu. 99!!!
