APEIRON (Alleviate Poverty Empowering women In Rural areas Of Nepal) was founded in 1996 in Florence, Italy, by a group of friends who dreamed of an equal world: a place where women and men could benefit from the same opportunities, enjoy the same rights, and live a life free of violence. These friends wished to make a difference, one life at a time, to infinity. They founded an organization and named it Apeiron, a Greek word meaning “unlimited”, “boundless,” or “infinite”.

After running empowerment projects in various countries that helped participants to remove the boundaries from their lives, APEIRON`S team settled in Nepal, where Violence Against Women (VAW) remained a major barrier to the development of individual women and girls, their communities, and Nepali society as a whole.
