I was quite humbled to be invited to speak on how social enterprises can create subsistence marketplaces in a post-covid world in the Second Virtual Subsistence Marketplaces Conference organized by Loyola Marymount University, USA. Nepal’s labor force is dependent on foreign employment and remittances. Majority of people work in informal sectors and as daily wage workers. COVID-19 has meant many people going back home with some savings and valuable skills. Social Enterprise like Institute for Indigenous Affairs and Development is working with Chepang Communities, the most marginalized indigenous people of Nepal. By investing in and with local communities, we are creating an economic ecosystem and subsistence marketplace for the communities to uplift their livelihood and socio-economic status. You can contact me to learn more about our initiatives or if you want me to invite me as a guest speaker in your University or Programs to share my experiences on social entrepreneurship and subsistence marketplaces. Thank you.
