In observation of AIDS Awareness Month, we’re excited to share that NYF’s New Life Center is beginning a new phase of development this year, incorporating lessons learned during the pandemic into an expanded program beyond the walls of our dedicated facility. Though residential treatment will remain a valuable piece of the New Life Center’s work, we are using our connections to other grassroots organizations to expand our outreach capabilities.
New elements for the program will include more regular medicine and nutrition delivery visits, which will also now involve check-ups for the children. This will allow NLC staff members to catch warning signs early, making return trips to the New Life Center unnecessary. Home visits will also allow our staff members to make more personalized recommendations to families. These may include advice ranging from thoughts on hygiene best-practices to reasonably-simple garden additions that may vastly improve family nutritional health.
In coordination with our hospital friends and grassroots partners, NYF will also expand our AIDS Awareness campaign efforts, in the hopes of alleviating cultural stigma by sharing accurate information about the illness with rural communities – including information about preventing the spread of HIV.
By expanding our reach in this way, we can save and enrich many more lives – and help Nepal continue its progress in addressing this global challenge.
Thank you from all of us at Nepal Youth Foundation for making this possible!
