For our Soap Studio, we are currently looking for an Operations Manager to run the daily operations. The Soap Studio is in its start-up phase and there are currently five women working producing soap.

Evonne (36 years old) was born and raised in the sunny island city state of Singapore, as she states it. She wanted to volunteer in Nepal and came across 6 Degrees’ website. “The commitment and sustainable activities that the organisation supports left a significant impression on me and before I knew it, I was having an online chat with Debbie and Gita,” says Evonne, who recently gave a marketing training to the women of the soap project. 

6° Network for Women is evolving. With help from the Nieuwe Gevers platform, 6°’s strategy was revisited and refined. The most important question is always: how do we, as a social enterprise, create the most impact for women in Nepal?

6 Degrees is supporting a Barista training programme with 10 women that was initiated by our partner SVSI with the mutual cooperation of Mirakunja Bufferzone and Riksja Travel.

6 Degrees recently welcomed a new volunteer, Yvette Feeke. Currently, she is still in Nepal, where she is enjoying her sabatical and also lending her expertise to various organisations. She recently quit her job as a manager at Ikea, where she led complex projects. She is currently in-between jobs.

At the end of September 2023, we left again for our beloved Nepal. Normally we go for 12 days and have a full programme. This time we included a 4-days trekking to our trip.

Gillian and Bard Dolmans (daughter and father) achieved a great result with the Mt. Everest Marathon Run. With this fantastic challenge they also raised money for 6 Degrees. A total of 4000 Euros was raised.

Our annual report 2022 has been published.

Oratory competition held for young women on International Women’s Day.

Gillian and Bard will participate in the Mount Everest Marathon on May 29 and raise funds for 6 Degrees.

Gita and Debbie will be present at the ASH Spring Bazaar on 13 May.
