DID YOU KNOW?- Although Nepal possesses only 0.1% of the world's total landmass, it accounts for over 2% of its flowering plants, 8% of its birds and over 4% of its mammals.*
- After extensive foresting, only 29% of Nepali forest-cover remains**—significantly less than the 40% recommended by ecologists for a healthy environment. ***
- Seeking alternatives to conventional forest practices helps ensure that biodiversity is preserved and resources are available for the people of Nepal.

THE BEST GIFTS OF ALL.
THE BEST GIFTS OF ALL.
Our collaboration with villages and visionary organizations* in Nepal moves mountains: changing the fabric of life so families can stay intact, and women—for the first time—can participate in success. Earnings help families afford school, and help break the cycle of poverty for the next generation.
Among our 21 partner communities in Nepal, household income has risen 318% and migration for work has been reduced by 15% in 3 years. **
In addition, Aveda has helped link communities in Nepal with child-rights advocates working to end abusive practices including child bonded labor and child trafficking.
When you give an Aveda gift set—topped with Nepali paper fabric—you give what really matters. Changing the outlook for a beautiful people, with beautiful intentions. EVERY GIFT BRIGHTENS LIVES.
