How Gyani enables her children to go to university with a dairy cow:

The success story of Gyani Dong:

This is Gyani Dong. She has received seed funding herself and now successfully leads two groups of women who also work with seed funding. These groups are both in the Kavre region of Nepal. Gyani Dong earns her living by producing and selling milk.


In December 2020 she received 100 euros from KETAAKETI's partner NGO SPOWC as interest-free seed funding. Together with her own savings she was able to buy such a cow. With 10 liters of milk sold a day, she earns a good income and so she was now able to pay the admission fees for her children's studies.

This is Gyani Dong. She has one herself seed funding received and now successfully guides two groups of women who also work with seed funding . Both groups are in the region of Kavre, in Nepal. Gyani Dong makes her money by doing the sold milk from her cow.

seed funding. Along with her own savings she bought a cow. With 10 liters of milk sold a day, she earns well. She was able to pay the entrance fees for her children's studies. Her daughter wants to be a civil engineer and her son plans to work in hotel management.

Gyani says that alternatively she tried to get a loan from a bank. But interest would have accrued here – a major financial burden for Gyani. The interest-free seed funding made it possible for her to pass on the €100 she received to a new family after just three months, who started a new seed funding project.

Gyani not only passed on her money, but also her knowledge.

In 2020, 10 women from the Kavre region took part in this project. Two years later a new group started with another 10 women. As a result of the passings that have already taken place, 42 women are now involved, who are guided and supported by Gyani Dong, among others. She says that she is very happy to have had this opportunity and now wants to pass on her experiences.

With 10 liters of milk sold per day, she earns well and so she was now able to pay the admission fees for her children's studies.  Gyani says she alternatively would have tried to get a loan from a bank where she would have had to pay interest. In turn, after three months she was able to give the 100 euros she had received to another family, who started a new seed funding project.

KETAAKETI stands for self-determined development through interest-free seed funding, which is passed on from family to family - and that 100%.
