When Anju talks with the others employees in Watabaran, she proves her strong character. Her attitude is confident, and she can be very energetic and convincing. She gesticulates when she talks and her entire body emphasizes her words.

Anju has previously been a housewife and knew nothing about paper production, but during a few moths as a trainee, she developed the skills needed to become an employee and part-owner in Watabaran. Gradually, she's grown with her responsibility, while she's become more frustrated about the limited options for Nepalese women. "It is still hard for women to advance and work, not to mention initiating projects. The Nepalese society is a conservative and regressive society," says Anju.

But in Watabaran, everyone's contribution is valued equally. Anju is manager responsible for marketing and international contacts. She hope to see a change in her society that will open opportunities for other women to advance. She's very proud to be working towards such a change.
