Celebrating Alexis Mead’s 15 Years of Dedication
After 15 years of devoted service to Mitrata, Alexis Mead, Director of Development & Operations, will be departing at the end of April. Alexis has served as a cornerstone in the development and growth of Mitrata over the years. It is with both sadness and joy that we share Alexis’s departure. We will miss her terribly, yet we are also happy that she will be pursuing new interests and adventures that she well deserves.
Seattle 2026 Wrap Up
Thank you for an incredible turn out at our 3rd annual trivia night in Seattle, Washington. With 20 tables at the event, our Seattle community raised over $27,000 to reach our fundraising goal! The funds raised at trivia will be going towards clean water, coats, comforters, and post-graduation support for both our Contact Centers.
Thanks again for supporting Mitrata-Nepal Foundation for Children!

Mitrata’s 2025 Holiday Wishlist
Our wish list for this holiday season consists of only two items. Although it is a short list, these items are vitally important to the health of our children and the success of our programs in 2026.
The 2025 Holiday Bazaar
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Holiday Bazaar. Without our many volunteers and loyal shoppers, the event would never be a success.
A Special and Magical Day
Every year, after the Sponsor Trip to Nepal, we post about the Mitrata and BSF Graduation Ceremony. We share how special the day is, and try to convey the magic in a way that those who were not in attendance can understand. This year, we had ten graduates to celebrate!
Building Connections at the Contact Center
This year’s Nepal Sponsor Trip attendees spent an afternoon at the Swayambhunath Contact Center. While there, they were able to spend time in each of the classes, meet the teachers and the children, and were treated to a few special dances performed by the students. This holiday season, we invite you to join in our mission of educating and empowering severely underprivileged children in Nepal by becoming a Contact Center Program sponsor.
