Ringchan Women’s Empowerment Project
In collaboration with Baltistan Fundazioa, we are proud to launch the Ringchan project, a women’s empowerment initiative in the Hushe Valley, Pakistan. Our objective is to establish a cooperative that promotes work opportunities for women, enabling them to achieve economic autonomy and improve their future.
The Hushe Valley Context
Located in the Baltistan region of Pakistan, the Hushe Valley faces numerous challenges. The valley is remote, with harsh winters, limited access to electricity, and poor infrastructure. Hygiene and cleanliness are significant concerns, leading to various diseases. Additionally, women in the valley face cultural and religious barriers that restrict their basic rights, including education, health, freedom of movement, and freedom of choice.
Our Partner: Baltistan Fundazioa
Founded by Alberto Iñurrategi in 2001, Baltistan Fundazioa has been working tirelessly to improve the lives of the Hushe Valley population. With a shared vision, we have partnered to empower women in the region.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of women in the Hushe Valley. Support our Ringchan project and help us create a brighter future for these women.

Women’s Cooperative: A Symbol of Empowerment
Baltistan Fundazioa has been dedicated to improving lives in the Hushe Valley since 2001. Through the Ringchan project, we have partnered with Ternua to empower women in the region.
Together, we are supporting the creation of a women’s cooperative that produces woollen hats. This initiative provides women with a sustainable source of income, promoting economic autonomy and self-reliance.
Skill Development and Empowerment
For over 10 years, women in the valley have been attending sewing courses, learning valuable skills and techniques. Additionally, they have received training in human rights and self-esteem, fostering their personal growth and empowerment.
Entrepreneurial Spirit and Leadership
Our aim is to inspire the entrepreneurial spirit in these women, enabling them to become leaders of change in their community. By supporting their economic independence, we are helping them weave a brighter future for themselves and their families.
