The Dusty Yak Foundation Projects
A The Orphanage
Our first project was rehousing 11 girls that were living in extreme poverty. The orphans were housed in tiny rooms with up to three children sharing a bed. The tin sheets acting as a roof offered little protection from the elements. The Children were suffering from malnutrition and other medical problems. Some of the children were suffering from abuse. A make shift tap provides washing facilities for the children, kitchen and clothes. B Vocational Training
The foundation will conduct vocational training for orphans in Nepal which will be Accredited by the UK Government. The Dusty Yak is able to offer UK government regulated (OFQUAL) accreditation through awarding bodies including the Chartered Institute of Environment Health, Industry Qualifications and Highfield . The training and International Accreditation program will promote employment domestically and abroad. C Educational Projects
