Aditi’s parents are severely disabled, and too poor to care for her. Her aunt and uncle in Kathmandu were willing to take her in, but couldn’t afford another mouth to feed.
With a small stipend from NYF’s Kinship Care, this 8-year girl is studying in first grade and living safely with loving relatives. Her future – like hundreds of others – is so much brighter now thanks to you!

While NYF’s permanent children’s home, Olgapuri provides a nurturing home for 80 children each year, the need is so much greater. NYF’s Kinship Care program is a holistic alternative to institutional care that keeps orphaned or abandoned children with relatives by providing financial support to extended family members who otherwise would not be able to care for them.
In the aftermath of the April 2015 earthquakes, NYF was able to expand this program rapidly – growing from 40 children to over 740. Thanks to this essential support, over 150 earthquake affected families are now self-sufficient while approximately 585 remain in the program like “Aditi”.
It is the generosity you share that helps keep children with their families! Dhanyabad!
