  • Freeing nearly 13,000 girls from indentured servitude has been a major accomplishment of the Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF), a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The mission of NYF is to provide children in Nepal with education, housing, medical and nutritional care, and general support. NYF was founded in 1990 by Olga Murray after she retired from a career as an attorney for the California Supreme Court. First called the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation (NYOF), the name was later changed to Nepal Youth Foundation. In 2012, Som Paneru, who joined NYF in 1995 as a program assistant, was elected president of the organization. Olga Murray is the Honorary Board President and Founder. NYF rescues and supports children in Nepal through a range of programs. The Nepal Youth Foundation's partners are made up of private foundations and individuals around the world and non-governmental organizations in Nepal. The Nepal Youth Foundation also partners with UniversalGiving, an online non-profit organization to raise funds for its projects. NYF prides itself on long-term, community-led, culturally-appropriate programming. Though the organization is U.S.-based with a mostly-American Board of Directors, the staff distribution is primarily Nepalese. A small U.S.-based team of three to four individuals provides messaging and fundraising support in English, while the entire Nepal-based team of around 70 members is composed of Nepalese citizens. This includes NYF's President, Som Paneru, who designs and manages programs from Kathmandu. This community-led approach allows NYF to target interventions in culturally-sensitive ways that address the specific problems faced by beneficiaries. Though NYF's focus is on long-term programs rather than emergency relief, the organization has provided crucial support to communities following disasters. Immediately following the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, NYF provided safe housing, medical support, nutritional care, and rebuilding aid to devastated communities. Many children left orphaned by the disaster have remained under NYF support, receiving housing, educational scholarships, and other benefits. NYF routinely supports communities impacted by deadly floods in Nepal. During the COVID-19 pandemic, NYF has provided important interventions including K-12 education in lockdown, nutritional aid, safe quarantine housing, and a COVID-19 isolation center. The organization has also been proud to count many of its past medical school scholarship recipients among the front-line workers battling the pandemic in Nepal's hospitals. Before the devastating April 2015 Nepal earthquake, NYF earned twelve consecutive 4-star ratings, the highest possible, from Charity Navigator for its efficient use of donations. Fewer than 1% of charities earn so many consecutive 4-star ratings. A sharp uptick in donations in response to the earthquake, followed by a return to NYF's more modest budget in the years following, has resulted in the false appearance of a shrinking organization, leading to a brief drop in this rating. Currently NYF possesses a 3-star "Give With Confidence" rating. In addition, NYF has earned five stars and a spot on the "2020 Top-Rated" list at GreatNonprofits.org, the leading online consumer review site for charity organizations. (en)
