We would like to thank all of you for supporting Project Didi and our partner Asha Nepal through the purchase of tickets for the screening of I AM BELMAYA.
We sold over 70 tickets and raised more than $1,600!
Belmaya and her daughter also received a portion of your contributions.
We hope you enjoyed the film produced by this inspiring young woman who was determined that her daughter would be able to ‘walk the right path’, through education. Her determination and resilience, along with the courage to challenge tradition and pursue the opportunities of filmmaking, has made her an amazing role model for other young women.
Here is what you thought of the film:
"I loved, loved, loved the film! I was completely engrossed."
"It will inspire many women and girls to reach higher throughout the world."
"Wonderful film. Had me in tears but ended in such joy."
"A powerful story of a brave young woman, taking charge of her life and future, despite the prejudice and limitations. Inspirational!"
We are currently setting up our screening schedule for 2022 and hope you will be able to join us.
