We are honored to receive recognition for our efforts to uplift and empower Nepali women+ in technology. These awards reflect the collective strength of our community and the impact we create when we support one another.
In 2022, two of our projects: CELEBRATE and EDUCATE received AnitaB’s Pass it On (PIO) Awards, where the projects would receive a budget of 500 USD each. The AnitaB.org Systers Pass It On Awards Program honors Anita Borg’s desire to create a network of women technologists helping one another.
The cash award helps fund women in computing or projects that inspire and support girls and women to enter computing. Details
Ms. Aachal Thapa has won the AnitaB.org Systers Pass It On Award, 2022, for NWiC Educate.
Nepali Women+ in Computing started a virtual monthly series called NWiC Educate in December 2020. It is a space to discuss and debate social issues which are misunderstood, misinterpreted, and under represented. The budget received will be used to conduct an in-person NWiC Educate session in Nepal.
Ms. Ila Adhikari has won the AnitaB.org Systers Pass It On Award, 2022 for NWiC Celebrate.
NWiC Celebrate is an initiative where we cover powerful narratives of Nepali women in Tech and their journey of hard work. The budget received will be used to pay for illustrators and designers for the completion of the CELEBRATE e-book.
NWiC received a joint grant with Women Leaders in Technology (WLiT) for the Women Tech It Up Summit granted by FRIDA Fund. FRIDA supports young feminist organizers to amplify their voices and bring attention to social justice issues. A sum of 50000 NPR is provided to NWiC for book publication, used together with the PIO grant for illustrations and administrative costs. Details
