About us

YYY Foundation is a UK registered charity established by Sarah and Sera Gurung in October 2015 in the wake of two major earthquakes in Nepal. YYY works to advance education and to help prevent and relieve poverty in Nepal. In its first 5 years, the charity raised more than £100,000, and provided funds to support the rebuilding of 10 schools in Nepal, mainly in Sindapulchowk, an area badly affected by the earthquakes. It also provided support in other ways to communities at times of particular stress. It built a Community Centre in the remote area of Hagam. Since 2020 the charity has adapted its focus onto 2 areas of work which it believes can make the biggest difference to the more remote communities it wants to help:

Provision of Women's Health services, mainly to girls attending schools

Provision of IT equipment, resources and teacher training.

For these communities, the provision of education and resources to help girls manage their menstruation, and effective IT facilities and training to schools, can be life changing for young people and fundamental to the communities’ long-term prospects and sustainability.
