Annual Report 2025
Bahini Educare Foundation
Dear Partners, Friends and Supporters,
As we complete twelve years of dedicated service, the year 2025 stands out as a period of impactful progress and renewed commitment. Nepal continues to face economic pressures and widening social gaps, yet our mission has remained steady: To Protect women and children from Abuse, Exploitation and Trafficking, and to help them rebuild lives grounded in safety, confidence and opportunity.
Gender discrimination and exclusion of girls & women is still rampant especially in rural areas, where most of the population is living. Globally, the female literacy rate stands at around 87%, while in Nepal, it is around 71% (UNESCO, CBS 2025). This is the reason why our emphasis is on education for underprivileged and excluded GIRLS!
Since 2014, Bahini Educare Foundation (BEF) has worked at the grassroots level with single mothers, adolescent girls and children living on the edge, deprived of the most basic needs and without security or support. Our registration & renewal with the District Administration Office, affiliation with the Social Welfare Council and recognition by national civil society networks demonstrate our ongoing commitment to compliance, transparency and responsible governance.
Every year, we witness profound struggles faced by mothers and children regarding exclusion, poverty, discrimination, educational gaps and social isolation. These forces often leave girls vulnerable to early marriage, trafficking, and unsafe migration. Families living in urban slums or temporary shelters face added layers of hardship, with limited access to services or protection.
The emotional and mental toll is equally heavy. Many women, abandoned or widowed, fight lonely battles with depression and hopelessness. For many, suicide seems the only option left. These realities remind us why our work must remain grounded in both empathy and comprehensive action.
To address these interconnected challenges, we developed the EduCare Family Project, a community- centred model that keeps families together rather than separating children from their mothers. Through education, nutrition, healthcare, hygiene support, counselling and livelihood interventions, we respond to immediate needs while building long-term resilience instead of dependency.
Since our founding, nearly 100 families have been supported and over 30 successfully reintegrated/empowered. In 2025 alone, 56 families of BEF 1 received comprehensive support, while our expansion into Tanahun (BEF2) marked a significant milestone, bringing structured support to 16 newly enrolled families.
Our expansion into Tanahun is more than organisational growth; it is a commitment to reach mothers and children who often live far beyond the radar of traditional support systems. By getting closer to their lives, we ensure that no woman or child must live in exclusion.
Year after year, we see what becomes possible when people are valued, included and supported. Crisis gradually turns into stability; stability builds confidence, and confidence opens the door to self-reliance, social acceptance and integration.
This transformation: step by step, family by family, is the heart of BEF.
Thank you for your trust, encouragement and solidarity. You make this journey possible.
It's simple, It's Simply BEF!
Gratefully,
Surendra, Raymond & TEAM
