Mari Nishitani talks about her co-op research trip to two villages in rural Nepal where women's cooperatives have made an impact - one founded and led by an NGO, and the other a grassroots effort led by Dalit women. Mari talks about the differences in motivation, self-determination, and adaptability between the two co-ops.
