Nepal Knotcraft Centre
Nepal Knotcraft Centre was founded in July 1984 by its current chairperson Mrs. Shyam Badan Shrestha, whose goal was to provide women economic empowerment through employment. The centre began with just three women who manufactured simple macramé goods. Today, NKC works with hundreds of women from various regions and women’s target groups from socially and economically deprived communities. NKC partners with these women to improve their livelihoods while paying tribute to their cultural significance and value to their crafts and craftsmanship.
