NYF’s Kinship Care program keeps orphaned, abandoned, and at-risk children close to their friends, families, and communities by providing stipends for school fees and other living costs. Four years ago, the program expanded exponentially to support children and families devastated by the 2015 earthquake.
At the age of three, “Kamal” tragically lost his father to kidney failure, leaving the family with only a modest plot of agricultural land to live on. When he was 11, the 2015 earthquake destroyed their small home and flooded the family’s tiny farm. Kamal’s mother, unable to stretch her meager income to provide food, clothes, shelter, and education, discovered NYF and applied for Kinship Care. NYF began to support Kamal’s education so that his mother could focus on paying for other necessities.
Having fully recovered from the effects of the 2015 earthquake, Kamal’s family is once again stable. His mother is able to provide for them with the farm’s produce - and Kamal is now studying in the ninth grade. We’re so happy for Kamal, and others like him!
Thank YOU for making it all possible.
