Women in Nepal, in spite of a nationwide Maoist insurgency and crisis in national gov- ernance, are moving mountains. Across the 500 mile-wide terrain of southern Nepal women are saving, building transparent village banks, and doubling their incomes through successful micro-enterprises. Last year their collective savings were estimated to have climbed to nearly $4 million while the revenues from their small business ventures probably broke $20 million — all this in what is one of the poorest countries in the world. This article describes how this happened and the contribution of Appreciative Inquiry to this amazing process of empowerment and community mobilization.
