| THE
ORGANIZATION
WATCH
is a secular, non-profit, politically
non-aligned NGO founded in 1992. It focuses
on helping Nepal's poor and oppressed
communities, with special attention to
rural women. WATCH is committed to achieving
self-reliant and sustainable forms of
development. Our particular area of expertise
is in organizing women and other oppressed
groups at the grassroots level and providing
them with the support they need to take
action, or to learn about how to make
changes to their lives.
WATCH uses a process of discussion, dialogue
and reflection to organize local communities.
Our aim is for people to build up their
own social resources and to determine
by themselves what kind of action they
need to take in order bring about change.
It is the people concerned who directly
participate in the decision-making process.
It is they who actively address the situations
that impact their lives, particularly
situations of exploitation and oppression.
WATCH uses this approach to participatory
development to confer decision-making
rights to the people it works with, to
encourage their commitment, and to build
up their confidence and self-esteem.
