Project's focus area: Human rights and education for girls in Nepal
Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Nepali girls, some as young as six, are being sold by their families into bonded servitude. The families don't want to sell their daughters, but they can't afford to live without the $50 they receive for their daughters' labor. NYOF rescues these girls, gives each of their families a piglet or goat to replace the money from selling their daughter, and sponsors the girls' education for six years. This includes all school supplies, uniforms, books, and a kerosene lamp to study at night.

Activities
NYOF will rescue Nepali girls from being sold bonded servitude, and provide them with a complete education through their high school graduation. Many of these girls are the first females in their families to be educated.
Expected Outcomes
This project will rescue 300 Nepali girls from bonded servitudue. NYOF will educate these girls through 10th grade. Most will be the first girls in their families to receive a complete education. Education is essential to break the cycle of poverty.
Project Message
Nothing rekindles hope in the human condition more than witnessing the transformation of a child.
- Olga Murray, NYOF's Founder and President
