USC Seeds of Survival


Five years ago no one was growing vegetables in Kep Chhiring's village of Dhunche, nor for that matter in the other villages in Rasuwa District where USC Nepal is now working. USC has been able to draw on years of experience and success with sustainable agriculture and vegetable gardening in other areas to launch a program in Kep's community. By organizing agricultural workshops with the people of Rasuwa, USC Nepal has been able to provide training in many remote communities.

Childhaven - Nepal


In 1992, the Honourary Consul General of Nepal in Canada, Dr. Kunjar Sharma, invited Child Haven to start a program in Nepal.

These children attend the local Bhaktapur English Medium School. Some of these children had been living in a Nepali jail with their mothers. The first two children were released from Kathmandu Women's Prison on October 4, 1992. Since then, four more children from the prison have come to Child Haven. The program provided frequent visits to the jails so the children could stay in touch with their mothers. Most of the mothers are now free.

The Women's Foundation of Nepal

 
The Women's Foundation (WF) is a non-profit and non-governmental organization established in 1988 by a group of professional women. These women had a deep sense of  social responsibility and a strong desire to address the problems of women in Nepal. These principles still guide them today.  The basic purpose of WF is to help all women and children equally, regardless of caste, religion, or race. 		 Children deserve a childhood.

On a broad scale, we strive to alleviate these problems by increasing public awareness of opportunities for economic and social development, and by fostering social responsibility and self-reliance in developing villages. Through our practical programs, we help to empower women to improve their   lives and community.

Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation

The Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation brings together the best of two worlds—the professionalism and financial resources of generous donors in the "developed world," and the opportunity to dramatically improve the lives of destitute children in the "developing" world.

NYOF is a non-profit organization based in Sausalito, California, on the edge of the San Francisco Bay. From there we raise funds and provide fiscal and other oversight for our programs in Nepal. Hundreds of individual donors and volunteers, private foundations, and local businesses support these efforts. Thousands of children benefit.

Basic principles and values are the core of every organization. These are its "character," distinguishing it from others. As part of our responsibility to our many supporters, we share our core values here.

How we work with the children
  • We serve Nepalese children and hire staff without regard to caste, religion, disability, ethnicity, or political affiliation. We actively foster tolerance and diversity.
  • We are non-proselytizing and unaffiliated with any religious group.
  • We support only children who have no other opportunity for education or a better life.
  • We take a highly personal approach to the children and families we serve, even when that takes more time and energy.
  • We deeply admire and respect Nepalese culture and society, and strive to promote them in the children.
  • We emphasize the development of personal and social responsibility in the children we support.
  • We protect and promote the family unit wherever possible.
