Thrive CEO Meets Grantees in Nepal

Mar 19

At Thrive Philanthropy, we believe that true impact comes from working closely with our grantees on the ground and we prioritizing site visits to countries with multiple grantees or advocates. Meeting in person allows us to deepen relationships, better understand the movement ecosystem and socio and political hurdles, thereby enabling us to make the most effective grantmaking decisions.

Earlier this year, Thrive CEO, Jessika Ava, traveled to Nepal to meet several grantee and advocates, including Sneha’s Care, Kathmandu VegFest, Nepal Vegetarian Association, Grassroots Movement in Nepal, VegVoyages, Vegan Art Festival, Kathmandu Animal Save, and founders of vegan restaurants.

Thrive’s CEO has lived or worked in Nepal periodically since 2010, giving her special insight into the region’s animal and vegan movement.

Thrive better learned pathways to prevent the entry of industrialized dairy and poultry into Nepal while promoting local, sustainable, plant-based food systems so that we can implement the most effective funding strategy for this region.
