For a time last spring COVID spread faster in Nepal than in any other country, largely a result of the April and May surge in neighboring India. Many Nepalis, who for decades had travelled into India to work, returned home because of the virus and carried it with them, overpowering Nepal's fragile health care system.In June, its vaccination rate stood below 3%.

Fortunately, ingenuity is alive and well. and is the key to the Nepal Youth Foundation’s response to the pandemic.
Here's some of what NYF did in the wake of the spring surge: 

  • Provided a safe isolation center for individuals in the Kathmandu Valley who needed to be isolated but were not seriously ill enough to require hospitalization.  Most patients were under 18.
      
  •  Increased production and distribution of their nutritional super flour, "Lito for Life," to support families in Kathmandu Valley where so many have lost their livelihoods.

  • Began a program to train girls in rural villages to grow healthy vegetables in greenhouses in the villages, hence providing nutrition to the villagers and an income to the growers.
