In rural Nepal, an historic tradition, called Kamlari, permitted destitute families to sell their daughter's labor. Now, however, the Nepal government has banned the practice. Yet, many families still carry on the tradition, gaining little more than $50 a year for each daughter sold into bonded servitude.
This program provides the family with a goat or pig as substitution for the daughter's wages, brings the girl home and ensures her access to education.

The Indentured Daughters Program is one of the most important of NYF's programs to help children in Nepal. This project rescues young Nepali girls who have been sold into bonded servitude by destitute families who need the income from their daughters' labor. NYF's humane answer to this horrible practice is to bring the girls home to be educated, while giving the family either a piglet or goat which, when sold at maturity, will provide a profit equivalent to what the daughter would have earned.

Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project educates orphans in 2 free primary schools. We use a holistic approach that includes 2 daily meals, access to clean water, medicine, sanitary products, and assistance for their caretakers who are typically their grandmothers. Despite walking 7 miles to school and living without electricity, our students are outperforming most others. We've promised to fund their education up to university as long as they pass their exams. 100% of our first 3 classes have done so!
