Coca-Cola's Saksham: Empowering Women and Fostering Sustainability in Nepal

Coca-Cola's Saksham initiative is entering its third year with a commitment to empower women entrepreneurs in Nepal.

Managing Director Mr. Deepak Senthil Nath emphasized Saksham's role in enhancing entrepreneurial skills, building confidence, and fostering a supportive network for women.

The initiative, targeting 1000 women entrepreneurs, offers comprehensive assistance, knowledge-sharing, and problem-solving opportunities, reflecting Coca-Cola's dedication to women's empowerment.

Saksham, led by Coca-Cola and Atelier Platform, focuses on sustainability, with an emphasis on inclusivity and support for women across various provinces, and urban and rural areas.

The nine-month program includes training workshops, an accelerator, and a mentorship program, aiming to create a more inclusive business environment and drive meaningful change in the socio-economic landscape for women associated with Coca-Cola Nepal.

Coca-Cola in Nepal offers its core products like Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, and Kinley, impacting communities through innovative water management solutions in collaboration with WWF Nepal, WaterAid Nepal, and Smartpaani. The company is water-positive, contributing to water conservation and replenishment.

Engaging in the 'World Without Waste' commitment, Coca-Cola Nepal collaborates with the Nepali Army for the Mountain Clean-Up Campaign, removing over 71,000 kgs of waste from the Himalayas in the past 3 years. Additionally, through the Saksham program, Coca-Cola empowers 1000 women retailers with training in financial literacy, hospitality, sanitation management, and the use of digital wallets, aiming to make a positive difference in local communities.
