2019 - our current fundraising effort is concentrating on relatively small amounts of around £3,600 for each school to provide a bank of 15 computers, since the new government in Nepal has added IT/Computer Science to the curriculum.  We have been able to set up Likhu school with a computer suite, working with the community who connected the school to the internet.

Every penny counts - it is very easy to donate to YYY Foundation.

Through JustGiving, you can pledge on off donations, or set up regular contributions. 

Visit - Yak Yeti Yak, 12 Pierrepont Street, Bath

Visit - Phat Yaks, Kingsmead Square, Bath

The Gurung family's latest food venture, Phat Yaks, is a lovely, relaxed eat in/take away street food cafe.  Occupying a sunny position in busy Kingsmead Square, you can pop in and buy a deliciously different 'curry in a hurry', pakora wrap or satisfying salad.  And while you're there you can find out more about YYY Foundation and pledge your support.
