PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE Our Strategic Plan 2019-2024
In the last 15 years, Nepal has had some improvements in child welfare and education, yet still Ranks very poorly, 49th of 179 countries, on a list of international fragile states(2021). Poor children are left behind and struggle to get into a school system, stay in school and finish their education. Population literary rates remain low. Our educational programs are in need of expansion in order to continue to address these needs.
We envision a Nepal where all children have the opportunity to be educated and reach their unique and full potential regardless of economic situation.
Educating a child empowers the family, lifts them from poverty and develops a community, and a country.
MNFC Core Values established & equipped by the Board as critical to our direction for the future are commitments to:
• Caring for children and making a difference in their lives in a tangible way
• Education as a foundation for a successful life
• Transparency in all our interactions
• Championing & empowering children to give back to their communities
• Respecting Nepali culture and traditions
Our Strategic Objectives:
1. Strong, supportive relationship with our NGO partner, BSF, to expand our programs and establish a system of oversight, evaluation and documentation
2. Active board of directors representing all identified areas of need, the foundation of future youth and advisory boards and initial plan for Executive Director succession
3. Foundational US infrastructure and financial oversight to support future growth
4. Fundraising development and financial investments to exceed annual financial goals and build a sustainable future
5. Effective digital media vehicles with national reach
6. Strong sponsor/donor relationships and new partner relationships to support public relations and fundraising needs
Together MNFC and BSF will accomplish the following:
