We don’t get funding from the Nepali government. The bulk of our funding is raised by our supporters, some wonderful regular donors and an Australian based organisation called Samunnat Inc., Please note that we do not sell jewellery and jewellery cannot be purchased from us in Birtamod. Samunnat Inc. sells our jewellery to distributors to raise funds for us.
Our friends and supporters are a vital part of the Samunnat family. We share the journey, encourage one another, inspire one another and grow in confidence and hope.

Our artists are so proud that the work of their hands gives them independence and enables Samunnat to do what it does. Our jewellery is hand made by ladies doing it tough in a developing country. We are affected by challenging logistics, intermittent electricity, strikes, earthquakes, problems with supply of materials and other issues. In spite of this, we continue to delight many customers who have received gorgeous items in a reasonably timely manner.
Go HERE to see our online store or find our Australian stockists HERE.
There is only one way to come and visit us…
The ladies are paid for teaching and for providing a cultural experience that is unique in Nepal. Many travellers say that their time with us was the highlight of their trip! Read more about it here.
Update: Obviously as COVID19 ravages the world no-one is visiting!
