Youth Enhancement and Training Initiative (YETI)

On June 27, 2024 YETI donated $1,000 to Holy Family Shelter in Indianapolis.

YETI and Campo East Africa Safaris teamed up again recently to assist the Siyiapei Childrens Home in Kenya. Open, unsecure shelving for the childrens' belongings have been replaced with secure, individual storage units. Prior collaboration between YETI and Campo East Africa Safaris provided a wheelchair, new bed mattresses, and electric fans for the girls' dormitory.

The YETI Orphanage in Nepal was constructed in 2003-04, and the first children arrived in 2005. From time to time, repairs and improvements are needed to the structures and amenities. In September, 2023, YETI sent funding to accomplish various repairs and upgrades: electric wiring management, replacing bulbs and fans, repairs to kitchen tables and storage, repair and replacement of beds, and repairs to the study room tables and chairs. This is all in addition to an earlier project to paint and repair interior and exterior walls and structures. Members of the YETI board visited the children and inspected the repairs in October, 2023. Thanks for your generosity that makes all of this possible for the children!

The girls' dorm at the Siyapei Childrens Home in Kenya was a stifling hot environment. YETI and Campo East Africa Safaris worked together this week to purchase and install a series of ceiling fans to make the space much more liveable.

Nepal was closed to foreigners until the 1950s. Check out this article from the December 1933 issue of Asia Magazine, describing their reporter's unique access. Those of you who have been with us on trips to Nepal will recognize many places and sights!

Today, on YETI's 17th anniversary, check out this video about the orphanage, thanks to the generosity and hard work of Bill Smith and Sextons Creek Productions! Check it out here:

Thanks to your auction bids, donations, and added funds from Youth Enhancement and Training Initiative (YETI), YETI is donating $2,000 to Holy Family Shelter! They could sure use your help if you want to give more - covid has greatly increased their costs. https://www.archindy.org/cc/holyfamily/index.html

We weren't able to have our annual St. Patrick's Day fundraiser for Holy Family Shelter this year, so instead we are running this online auction until April 11. YETI will donate all proceeds AND match them (up to $1,500) to Holy Family Shelter. Please bid here: https://yeti.cbo.io or donate at http://www.ibccn.org/yeti/donate.html

The 2016 Global Hunger Index (GHI) found that 7.8% of Nepal's population was undernourished. We work to make sure the children at Yeti are fed and healthy.

Merry Christmas from Yeti! There's no better Christmas gift to us than seeing the smiles on these faces!

According to Nepal's statistical data projects, there are 11.5 million children in Nepal. Out of them, 1,000,000 are orphans. We work to make sure the children living at Yeti are taken care of and loved.

Sisters stick together.

34% of Nepalese children are involved in some type of child labor ranging from agricultural work to commercial sexual exploitation. Yeti works to make sure the children at the orphanage have a good, healthy life free from child labor.

The kids at Yeti take care of one another. We love to see the love they share!

Playtime at Yeti!

Family doesn't always mean blood! You can find family anywhere - we love these brothers and sisters!

Lunchtime at Yeti!

We love to see these smiles!

Sextons Creek Productions visited Yeti Orphanage in October, and they were able to capture video of the orphanage to give us the ability to show our supporters what all we do at Yeti! We can't wait to see the final product!

We are so thankful for the staff at Yeti Orphanage who are always willing to help out wherever needed! They are wonderful.

Making sure that the children living at Yeti Orphanage have good, nutritious food to eat is one of our top priorities.
