Read on to learn more about Novita and Swati.
New & Improved
It was a busy summer, and things have been bustling for our Kailash Kids and staff in Nepal! Over recent months, we’ve seen the completion of several longtime projects on campus including new property fencing, an updated playground area, refreshed roofing on our girls dormitory building, improved drainage infrastructure, and more.
Meet the Staff at Kailash Home
It’s an undeniable fact that without the support of our worldwide community, we would not be able to provide so fully for our Kailash Kids. But, the day to day love and care of our children falls to another part of our extended, global family, and today we’d like to take a moment to introduce you to some of them.
Happy Holidays from Kailash Home!
And just like that another year is coming to a close! We can hardly believe that 2022 is nearly here, and all of us here at HYF are so grateful for the support of our community through the tumults and triumphs of these last years. Our Kailash Kids are happy and healthy; our organization is strong; and we are filled with hope for a bright new year.
Dinner Is Served!
While students here in the United States are enjoying the last of their summer holiday, our Kailash Kids have started a brand new school year. With COVID cases high and vaccination numbers still low across Nepal though, this term is progressing completely virtually with remote learning only. Thanks to our experience over the past year however, we were ready and well equipped for this reality.

Vaccinated!
Excellent news from Nepal! Our senior students (all those 18+) as well as the staff at Kailash Home recently received their COVID vaccinations. Each of the staff and students received a single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine which means in just two weeks time they will be considered fully inoculated without the need for a secondary dose at this time. The staff at Kailash have reported that all the children are doing well following their vaccinations, and that no one suffered any adverse side effects.
The Latest from Kailash - Summer 2021
Over recent weeks, even as the United States and other developed nations push to vaccinate large swaths of their populations against COVID-19 and return to a semblance of normal, countries like Nepal have been gripped by a resurgence of the pandemic. But, not all of the news coming from Nepal is so grim! Our Kailash Kids are thriving and staying busy in this new lockdown.
Back to School
After over 53 weeks of school closures and cancelations, our Kailash Kids are finally heading back for in-person classes!
