Households
Income baselines
We record household income at cluster onboarding and again each year — so the impact number is a delta, not a marketing figure.
§ 16 · Impact & ESGSection 16
An ecosystem measured in the open.
HFMN reports environmental, social and governance impact across clusters, cooperatives and product lines — building a transparent baseline for Nepal's textile future.
The Story
Numbers grounded in place.
The impact figures on this page correspond to specific villages, specific cooperatives and specific ropani of land. We publish them because the sector deserves an honest ledger, and because a national programme is only as credible as the numbers behind it.

Impact, as we count it.
Everything HFMN does — from a mulberry seedling to a finished bolt of cloth — is stewarded by a real cooperative, a real weaver and a real ledger. This is a snapshot.

Ecology
Ropani under regenerative
Mulberry, dye-plant and fibre-crop area is tracked ropani by ropani, with soil and water indicators reported alongside.

Governance
Cooperatives capacitated
Registered cooperatives, trained accountants and audited books are counted the same way — publicly, per cluster.
“If we cannot show the change, we have not made it.
