Activity date: 31 March 2025 · Olgapuri Village, Chunnikhel, Lalitpur

The Rotary Club of Patan held its fifth-Monday meeting at Nepal Youth Foundation’s Olgapuri Village on 31 March 2025. NYF President and Rotarian Som Paneru hosted members and guided a tour of vocational workshops, offices, children’s accommodation, kitchens, gardens and farms.

The visit explored NYF’s work in health and nutrition, residential care, education, vocational training and career counselling, counselling services and caste equality. The club’s submission reported approximately 80 children in the residential programme and at least NPR 18,500 in Happy News contributions. No specific operational budget was recorded.

RCP’s earlier matching and Global Grant partnerships with NYF provided a foundation for discussion of support for vulnerable children and young people. Members exchanged reflections on NYF’s approach, and the visit combined learning with fellowship.
