NYF is thrilled to share that as of July 2022, the Nutritional Rehabilitation Home in Dadeldura has been officially handed over to the Nepali government!

This is following our sustainable model where the nutrition rehabilitation homes we establish are transitioned to the government over the course of five years. This NRH in Dadeldura was established in 2017, and is the final nutrition facility to be transitioned to the government - meaning that all other NRHs are now fully funded and managed by the Nepali health system!

NYF will continue running our permanent flagship Kathmandu Valley location, which serves as a treatment center and a training hub. Nepal has embraced our NRH model as their nationwide standard for treating pediatric malnutrition, and the government is now building its own NRH facilities - staffed with experts trained at our flagship center.

NYF's NRH has accelerated outreach camp in rural communities in periphery of Kathmandu Valley. A team with doctors, nurses, and dietitian and para professionals mobilize in rural villages for conducting camp. Recently conducted camp in Ramechhap and Kavre revealed that malnutrition prevalence is alarming in these areas. Out of 1,114 children, 307 children were identified in different stages of malnutrition (243 mild, 56 MAM and 8 SAM). If this problem is not address on time, there is no doubt in increasing MAM and SAM cases in near future.
