The International Day of Rural Women will be observed around the world under the auspices of the United Nations on October 15 (today). The Day honours the role of rural women and recognises their immense contribution to their communities. Nestlé Pakistan is committed to supporting and promoting the development of rural women in Pakistan. Whether it is increasing women's access to micro credit in cocoa farms or assisting women in rural Pakistan to expand their dairy operations, Nestlé is at the forefront of rural development initiatives which benefit women.
The company firmly believes in the creation of shared value (CSV) for the societies it operates in, investing in sustainable development that empowers and enriches, and that speaks for itself. These initiatives train women to become livestock workers and dairy entrepreneurs. Practical training is supplemented by official certification from the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. Medical kits, tools, credit facilities and follow-up trainings are provided to these women so they can become more productive members of their rural communities.
