We are proud to introduce the BMKF Alumnae list. These bright young women are doing extraordinary things in their country and communities post-graduation. In addition, a few of them are volunteering as Mentors to the Namaste Children’s Fund (NCF) older students at their hostel in Kathmandu, helping to guide them through their education and career goals.
Gratitude to every single donor, volunteer, and friend of the foundation that helped turn these women’s dreams into a reality. While the foundation has closed its scholarship program, BMKF’s legacy will continue on as these determined women manifest their careers and create ripples of change in Nepal for decades to come.
