The Kopila Valley Women's Cooperative was started in 2017 by graduates of the BlinkNow Foundation’s Women’s Empowerment Center training. Having spent years creating beautiful handmade products for BlinkNow and the Kopila Valley School, as well as local businesses, the women decided to branch out and launch their own for-profit cooperative, bringing together various artisans from the Surkhet Valley.

Our women now design and create many goods based on traditional crafts, and have expanded to offer bespoke products as well. The ties to our founding organization remain strong; the women still make the students' uniforms for the Kopila Valley School, and serve as mentors to the new members of the Kopila Valley Women's Center job skills training program.

The BlinkNow Foundation is thrilled to see the women's entrepreneurial spirit thriving, and is proud of the business they've built with their own hands. Purchasing a wholesale order from this website is an excellent way to help the women of Surkhet become independent business women. Buyers in the US can find Cooperative products sold online at BlinkNow Goods which have the added advantage of supporting the Kopila Valley Women’s Center.

Amazing things happen when women come together and support each other. Thank you for making all of this possible.
