In her mid 20s, “Laxmi” has a disability in both feet. She grew up in western Nepal in a family of 7 who depend on subsistence farming and seasonal labor to make ends meet.
Despite these challenges, Laxmi was a dedicated student. Her dream was to pursue higher education, but her family, already stretched thin, simply couldn’t afford it. Thankfully, they were referred to NYF and Laxmi was selected for a Disabled School scholarship. She’s currently earning her Masters in Agriculture and hopes to serve her country as an Agro-Scientist.
Your support is truly changing lives!

Another recent highlight we are pleased to share is that this past spring NYF organized a consultative conference on 'Access to Education for Disabled Children and Youth'. The meeting helped to identify needs and gaps in access to education for disabled children and youth in Nepal, as well as build a stronger network of stakeholders for collaborative efforts to support them.
With your support, disabled students are reaching their full potential. Dhanyabad!
