Six more children in Butwal, Nepal began their educational journey under the Yours Humanly “Coloring Futures” initiative. Thanks to your generous support, we will fund their schooling all the way through high school graduation. Give today to help change the lives of many more disadvantaged children in Nepal.

Yours Humanly hosted its third annual Meet & Greet event on June 13 at the Capital One Cafe in Walnut Creek. We found ourselves in the company of remarkable people—compassionate, creative individuals who came together to learn more about Yours Humanly and discover ways they can help us help vulnerable, disadvantaged children through the power of education. We made many new friends and felt absolutely energized.
 
We express our sincere thanks to all the attendees. A very special thank you to Capital One for sponsoring the Yours Humanly 2019 Meet & Greet and Wasi Alam Photography for the fantastic photos.

We won! We are delighted and proud to announce that Yours Humanly won the 2018-2019 Mount Diablo Education Association (MDEA) Academy Award for Outstanding Volunteer Organization. A huge thank you to our wonderful team and all our supporters. Without them, this would not have been possible.
