Program

"If you invest in girls, you invest in generations..."  Founded in 2011 by Ryan, his wife and  a few other Peace Corp teachers, the purpose of the Non-Profit Napali Youth Development Program (NYDP) is empowering girls through education. The main school is found in the town of Tadi, Chitwan in the low lands of Nepal. It is primarily a Hindu region with only 9 % of the population being Buddhist. The society operates within a caste system making it nearly impossible for some, especially females, to progress professionally without education. The culture favors education for males. Education is expensive and prohibitive without assistance.  A higher secondary education (grades 11-12), after passing a test for progression, will cost $200 per year for a total of $400. A college degree will cost $900 and a Masters Degree (2 yrs. at $400 per yr) will cost $800. Scholarship applicants are required to have family support and adhere to attendance and grades policies, etc. This organization is a organized under the Washington State 501 (c) Non-Profit laws.
