Free and Educate Enslaved Nepali Girls
You can help free enslaved Nepali girls. Working closely with local communities, NYOF helps parents bring their daughters home from the city and provides a tiny piglet or goat - much valued in this culture - which the families can raise and sell for the same amount their daughters would have earned if sold as bonded servents. Your gift to NYOF will help bring these girls home and pay for all expenses for them to attend the local school.

The Need
In parts of Western Nepal, many indigenous families subsist as farm laborers. Unable to make ends meet, thousands of them have been forced into a desperate trade – selling their daughters to work in faraway cities as bonded servants. Some of these little girls are as young as six! The situation is tailor-made for abuse. Many of the girls never return home, some of them forced into prostitution. The lucky ones work from dawn to dusk. Very few of the girls attend school. The fathers receive an average of $50 a year for their daughters’ services, and the girls get nothing. The families don’t want to sell their daughters, but they can’t do without the income. Over 3,000 girls, newly free and empowered, now attend school under NYOF’s auspices. However, there are thousands more who need to be rescued.
Proof of Impact
For each gift, you will receive a photo of the girl they have rescued, as well as basic information about her.
