“The bicycle changed my life. I can now carry up to 120 kilograms. My income has risen by at least three-fold.” - Khagisara, Nepal
Khagisara started to grow and sell vegetables to provide for her family after her husband passed away, but with a bad leg, it was difficult for her to carry around her vegetables. Two years ago, she received a bicycle and crates to carry vegetables, as well as entrepreneurship training from the government of Nepal and the UN Development Programme. Since then, things started to change for the better.
Goal #1 aims to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. By 2030, we will ensure that all men and women, especially the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources.
