In 1998, Trevor Patzer founded Little Sisters
Fund, a non-profit organization, with an aim to
support female education in Nepal. The foundation
strives to provide educational opportunities to
intelligent, hardworking, and financially
disadvantaged girls from South Asia who are
facing extreme poverty, social prejudice, and
discrimination. The foundation focuses on
eliminating the root causes of low female
literacy in Nepal and providing opportunity and
hope to the girls so that they can build up
better future. Trevor Patzer is the Executive
Director, USA. He helps oversee the endowment and
raises funds for providing scholarships to the
Nepalese girls. To date, his efforts have raised
over 5M. He also oversees the PR, development,
and all fund raising initiatives of the
organization. He manages volunteer workers and
more than 400 scholarship accounts.

Sisters Fund offers a Health Care Program to
