Domestic Life: Hajuri Bista

"I have always believed that there is no such thing as menial work! Every work whether it is in the kitchen or elsewhere, respect to your own work is a must for dignity lies in how you perceive your work."

Hajuri Bista’s journey from housewife to entrepreneur and the idea to produce hygienic, natural Nepali-style pickles clicked after attending a food processing training from Women Entrepreneurs Association of Nepal (WEAN). Ms.Bista owns the pickle brands, `Navaras´ and `Kitchen Recipe´ and both brands specialize in producing pickles of Nepali taste. She is Vice-Chairperson of the WEAN Co- operative, and the fourth Vice Chairperson of the Federation of Woman Entrepreneurs Associations of Nepal.
