SEE STATEMENT 1

OLGAPURI VILLAGE PROJECT -SINCE 1992, NYF HAS PROVIDED SAFE HOMES FOR DISADVANTAGED NEPALESE CHILDREN, FIRST THROUGH OUR J & K HOUSES, AND, SINCE 2016, AT OLGAPURI CHILDREN'S VILLAGE. OLGAPURI, OR "OLGA'S LITTLE OASIS," WAS BUILT ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT EACH CHILD DESERVES TO GROW UP IN A SAFE, LOVING HOME.THE ENCLOSED CAMPUS, LOCATED IN THE KATHMANDU VALLEY, FEATURES FACILITIES LIKE A BASKETBALL COURT, A LIBRARY, A SPRAWLING VEGETABLE GARDEN, AND MORE TO ENCOURAGE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING. DEDICATED STAFF AND HOUSE PARENTS ARE INVOLVED IN EACH CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT AND WELFARE. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE 0, PAGE 1)THE CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO SOME OF THE BEST SCHOOLS IN NEPAL AS WELL AS PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES THROUGH NYF'S ANKUR COUNSELING CENTER.CHILDREN LIVE IN ONE OF FOUR HOUSES-JUNIOR GIRLS, SENIOR GIRLS, JUNIOR BOYS, AND SENIOR BOYS-EACH OF WHICH HAS ROOM FOR 20 INDIVIDUALS, FOR A TOTAL OF UP TO 80 RESIDENTS AT A TIME. EACH HOUSE HAS A SET OF "PARENTS" (ALL MARRIED COUPLES) WHO ARE SUPPORTED IN PROVIDING THE PERSONALIZED ATTENTION AND LOVING CARE EACH CHILD NEEDS. ADDITIONAL CARETAKERS HELP THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN WITH THEIR DAILY ROUTINES. OLGAPURI IS DEDICATED TO OFFERING THESE CHILDREN THE BEST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP INTO CONFIDENT, THRIVING YOUNG ADULTS. IN 2013, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED A PROJECT TO GRANT MONIES TO ITS AFFILIATE IN NEPAL SPECIFICALLY EARMARKED FOR THE PURCHASE OF LAND AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW AND PERMANENT J AND K HOUSES. THE COMPLEX IS TITLED OLGAPURI (OLGA'S LITTLE OASIS) IN HONOR OF OLGA MURRAY, THE FOUNDER OF THE NEPAL YOUTH FOUNDATION. THE BOARD APPROVAL STIPULATED THAT THE FUNDING FOR OLGAPURI VILLAGE BE RAISED SEPARATELY FROM THE ONGOING PROGRAM FUNDING. THE OVERALL PROJECT WAS EXPANDED IN 2015 TO INCLUDE A FARM AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL FACILITY. THE FOUR RESIDENCES, HOUSING JUNIOR BOYS, JUNIOR GIRLS, SENIOR BOYS AND SENIOR GIRLS, OPENED IN SEPTEMBER 2016. THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL BEGAN OFFERING TRAINING IN THE SPRING OF 2017.

THE LAND AND FIXTURES ARE OWNED BY THE LOCAL NGO, AND AS SUCH, IT IS NYF'S POLICY TO EXPENSE SUCH ACQUISITIONS IN NEPAL. THE NGO HOLDS TITLE AND OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND AND FIXTURES FOR AS LONG AS IT CONTINUES TO RUN THE PROGRAMS WITHIN THE COMPLEX. TITLE WOULD ONLY REVERT TO THE SOCIAL WELFARE COUNCIL IF THE NGO WERE TO FAIL IN MANAGING THE PROGRAMS, PER THE TERMS OF THE FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT LAST SIGNED JUNE 4, 2018. THE $605,176 SPENT IN FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014 PURCHASED THE LAND FOR OLGAPURI VILLAGE.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM - NYF'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS AT THE HEART OF OUR MISSION, SUPPORTING UNDERPRIVILEGED AND DISABLED STUDENTS FROM GRADE SCHOOL TO GRADUATE SCHOOL. THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS MORE THAN JUST FINANCIAL AID - IT GIVES STUDENTS PERSONAL GUIDANCE, HOUSING, MEDICAL CARE, PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING, AND SUPPORTS SCHOOLS IN IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE.THE SCHOLARSHIP IS PROVIDED IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC NEED OF THE CHILDREN, SUCH AS DAY SCHOOL, BOARDING SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND KINSHIP CARE. THE KINSHIP CARE PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS CARING FOR CHILDREN WITHOUT CAPABLE PARENTS. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)STIPENDS PROVIDED TO THESE LOVING RELATIVES-AUNTS AND UNCLES, GRANDPARENTS, OR OLDER SIBLINGS-COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH HOUSING, FEEDING, CLOTHING, EDUCATING, AND RAISING CHILDREN LEFT WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS. NYF SOCIAL WORKERS REGULARLY CHECK IN WITH THESE FAMILIES, ENSURING THAT THE CHILDREN ARE THRIVING. OUTCOMES ARE POSITIVE FOR CHILDREN IN THE CARE OF THEIR RELATIVES-STRONGER, IN MOST CASES, THAN OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN IN EVEN THE HIGHEST-QUALITY ORPHANAGES.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND CAREER COUNSELING - SINCE OUR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND CAREER COUNSELING PROGRAM (VECC) BEGAN IN 2007, VECC HAS COUNSELED AND TRAINED THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN A VARIETY OF TRADES. MORE THAN 83% OF 2019 NYF GRADUATES SECURED EMPLOYMENT, A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT IN A COUNTRY WHERE THE YOUTH UNDEREMPLOYMENT RATE IS 35%.MANY YOUNG PEOPLE IN NEPAL SEE SUCCESSFUL CAREER PROSPECTS IN SKILLED TRADES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. THOUGH THE DEMAND IS HIGH FOR THESE SKILLS, NEPALESE COMPANIES OFTEN STRUGGLE TO FIND LOCAL YOUNG PEOPLE POSSESSING THE PROPER SKILLS-SO MANY OF THESE POSITIONS ARE FILLED BY WORKERS FROM INDIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES. MEANWHILE, YOUNG NEPALESE MEN AND WOMEN (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)CAN OFTEN ONLY FIND JOB PROSPECTS BEYOND THEIR COUNTRY'S BORDERS AND FAR AWAY FROM FAMILY, WHERE LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND OTHER FACTORS MAKE THEM VULNERABLE TO EXPLOITATION.NYF IS EAGER TO HELP YOUNG ADULTS IN NEPAL GAIN THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO FIND GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT IN GROWTH CAREERS MUCH CLOSER TO HOME. OUR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & CAREER COUNSELING PROGRAMS OFFERS YOUNG NEPALESE PEOPLE PATHWAYS TO ECONOMIC MOBILITY-BENEFITING INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES.SKILL-BASED TRAINING AT OLGAPURI VOCATIONAL SCHOOL BRINGS CLASSES OF MEN AND WOMEN TOGETHER FOR 3-MONTH CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS IN ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, CARPENTRY, AND WELDING, WITH PROGRAMS SHIFTING TO MATCH NEEDS NYF HAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH CONTACTS AT MAJOR NEPALESE COMPANIES.

CAREERS MAY INCLUDE NURSING, ENGINEERING, AGRICULTURE, THE CULINARY ARTS, AND HOTEL MANAGEMENT.
