In 2000, Nepal Youth Foundation (official film partner) began a campaign to end the practice of Kamalari, a centuries-old system of indentured servitude embedded in the culture of rural Nepal. These girls are supported with long-term educational programs (scholarships/childhood development/vocational training) in Kathmandu.
