The Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1990 by a group of open-hearted, tenacious optimists—led by lawyer Olga Murray—determined to help Nepali children access education. Over thirty years later, we’ve supported over 60,000 children and families in Nepal to access high-quality EducationHealthShelter, and Freedom, plus Emergency Relief when it’s needed most.

 

From a dream kindled on a Himalayan trek in 1984, to a handful of scholarships from Olga’s own pocket and onward to the present day, NYF has always been grounded in the problems facing Nepal’s young people right now.

 

As Nepal’s education system, health care infrastructure, social safeguards, and economy grow and develop, NYF’s president Som Paneru champions flexible, precise steps towards equality and prosperity for children throughout his country.

 

Matching resources from loving supporters around the world with culturally appropriate, locally led programs designed and implemented by Nepal’s own advocates and experts, NYF is transforming lives, empowering families, strengthening communities, and emboldening a generation.

 


 

Our Mission

The Nepal Youth Foundation offers hope and opportunity to Nepal’s most impoverished children by providing them what is every child’s birthright: vital healthcare, education, and a safe environment.

 


 

Our Philosophy

Since 1990, NYF’s work supporting children has helped Nepal make tremendous headway as the country tackles daunting social challenges. Children are the future of any country, and Nepal is no different. We’ve helped transform the lives of over 60,000 children since NYF started, and we’re eager to continue.

We are committed to giving children the chance to succeed. Kids in Nepal are facing some of the toughest hurdles in the world—and they’re doing so with grit, determination, and hard work. At NYF, we’re investing in their efforts, providing barrier-breaking solutions that allow each child to participate more fully in their society.

Each dollar stretches a long way once it reaches Nepal, with relatively small investments providing life-changing opportunities to children and young people—opportunities that empower families, communities, and even have a positive impact on countrywide structural changes!

 


Our Goals

  • Increase access to education for children in Nepal, from kindergarten through medical school, law school, or vocational programming

  • Improve the health of children throughout Nepal, with a special focus on nutritional health and mental wellness
