Thank you for helping Alisha stay in school!

"Alisha" studying hard at school
Five years ago, “Alisha” lost both of her hands in an electrical shock accident.
Her sudden disability was a difficult adjustment – especially at school, where she needed a writer to complete her assignments and examinations. The extra help was not only stressful for a bright and independent young woman like Alisha, but also expensive for her struggling family. Discouraged, Alisha took a break from her studies for two years.
With NYF’s Disabled Student Scholarship now taking care of her school expenses, Alisha is thriving in school. Her scholarship keeps her positive, and continues to motivate her to strive for more.
Your support helps to keep bright students like Alisha in school – thank you so much!

A brighter future for Ansu... thanks to you!

“Ansu” is a 15-year-old girl born in Eastern Nepal. Paralyzed from the waist down, she and her family had to move out of their hometown into Kathmandu as there were no schools for physically disabled students outside of the Capital.
Now studying in the ninth grade, Ansu lives with her family in the city, where her mother runs a small beauty parlor. The salary, however, is not enough to cover all the school expenses on top of her daughter’s special needs.
The family was quickly referred to NYF, and we began providing her with a scholarship specifically designated for disabled students.
We are happy to report that after recieving this additional support, Ansu is now doing well, and her scholarship continues to motivate her throughout school. Your support offers her hope and opportunity for a brighter future — and we can’t thank you enough!

NYF scholars are building a brighter future thanks to you

Luna in school
In a country where less than 40% of children make it through 10th grade, we are so proud to report that with your support, 97% of all NYF scholars moved on to the next grade level this past school year!
April is the start of the new school session in Nepal which can be an exciting time for many families.
Unfortunately, youth with disabilities like “Luna” (who is deaf) often face discrimination and can even be turned away from schools, especially in rural villages. Despite how much she’s suffered, Luna is incredibly resilient and eager to learn. She is continuing her education and building a bright future through NYF’s Disabled Students Scholarship.
Thanks to your support, a total of 683 children and youth from desperately impoverished families are safely studying, protected from the threat of exploitation or worse. Of them, 48 students are children with disabilities.
Because of you, children who would otherwise have nowhere else to turn have previously unimagined opportunities.
Thank you!
