During this time of uncertainty, we want to thank you for your continuing concern for the NYF family. As of March 17, our programs in Nepal have been restricted to protect the vulnerable young people in our care, and ensure the health and safety of the NYF staff.
Due to the strict nation-wide lockdown in Nepal, Ankur Counseling Center, an important part of most NYF programs, can no longer provide in-person therapy sessions. However, thanks to your generous support, the trained counselors who work there have continued to provide essential services over the internet and the telephone.
Ankur counselors are working tirelessly to reach even more people. Their meaningful work has increased significantly during the lockdown, as NYF tries to reach families suffering from domestic violence (a side-effect of lockdown conditions). NYF is working with the government for longer-term solutions for these families, but in the meantime, Ankur staff members are providing what therapeutic support they can.
As this pandemic continues to develop, NYF is committed to keeping the vulnerable communities in our care safe and healthy.
We are so deeply touched by the ongoing concern and support from the NYF Family — thank you.
