Nepal Youth Foundation?s goal is to improve the lives of desperately impoverished children in Nepal through a holistic approach.
Every day, NYF provides intervention that saves the lives of malnourished children; scholarships that offer previously unimagined opportunities to bright, impoverished youth; support that empowers young women who spent their childhoods in servitude; safe, healthy homes for orphaned and abandoned children, and so much more.
History:-
Upon visiting Nepal, witnessing the extreme poverty, and realizing what a difference can be made with a relatively small amount of money, Olga Murray began NYF in 1990. She realized that a few dollars could literally change the life of a child forever especially girls and the handicapped who are especially disadvantaged.
Some of NYF's Major Accomplishments include establishing 16 Nutritional Rehabilitation Centers for severely malnourished children and their mothers to get food and training, the Empowering Freed Kamlaris program to save girls from bonded service, two orphanages, and having provided over 7,000 students with scholarships.
