![16 September 2018, Sohal Tole, Jahada rural municipality, Nepal: Basket making is a traditional skill among the Mohali (Tarai Dalits, meaning Dalits living on the plainlands of eastern Nepal), but it is only recently that they have been able to access the market and start selling their goods, in the nearby town of Biratnagar, Province 1, Nepal. Access has been made possible through support from the Nepal Evangelical Lutheran Church. Sohal Tole is a community inhabited by Santal and Dalit (Musahar) people, who find themselves as the very margin of society in Nepal. The 54 households are supported by the Nepal Evangelical Lutheran Church, as they mobilize together on disaster preparedness, income generating activities, financial governance, and mobilization on sanitation, education and entrepreneurship. The community project also receives technical support from the Lutheran World Federation World Service programme.

![17 September 2018, Biruwa, Kavre district, Nepal: Women clean the dishes after lunch in the village of Biruwa. What may have appeared an ordinary lunch was in fact quite special. As Dalits find themselves among the most marginalized in Nepal society, members of other castes will often not receive food from them even if offered. Today, however, a range of visitors, including local authority officials sit and eat with them, to affirm the equality and dignity of all people, no matter their ethnic group, economic situation, or caste. The Lutheran World Federation World Service programme runs a Post-Earthquake Rehabilitation and Livelihood Recovery Project, in which Biruwa is one of the supported communities.
