ALEY-NM in Nepal

After the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, the ALEY-NM together with WAND launched a relief effort in order to address some of the problems in the country.

Leading the effort was our Executive Director Jed Christian Zayas Sayre who managed to partner with a Nepal Youth Organization, the Visionary Youth Initiative Foundation Nepal headed by Aakash Jung Karki together with his sister Manila Karki. We also partnered with a local clinic owned by Doctors Anil and Sharon Shakya who conducts relief efforts in their area.

Together with VYIFN, the ALEY-NM was able to conduct backyard gardening trainings to address food security, distribute health and food packs, provide scholarship grants to select students and build toilets. From Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and as far as Sindupalchok which was one of the hardest hit by the earthquake.
