Fe y Algeria (FyA), a Movement for Integral Popular Education and Social Development, was initiated in Nepal in 2021. It was marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Fr Amrit, the Superior of Nepal Jesuits and Fr. Carlos Frintzen, the former Coordinator General of the International Federation of Fe y Algeria, during the opening ceremony of Kavre Regional Center at Panchkhal, Kavre. Currently, NJSI is advancing towards developing and implementing the FyA program in rural Nepal in the coming years. 
With support from our donor, Xavier Network, and guidance from our consultant team led by Xavier Mir, we are conceptualizing our vision for FyA in Nepal. The team has led several meetings and workshops, exploring various elements for our future FyA program. The NJSI Management Committee and all staff have been actively involved in this process. Ms. Pilar Lopez, Asia Regional Manager at FyA, has been accompanying us throughout the process.
The numerous meetings and workshops have laid a foundation for FyA program, resulting in a Concept Note, a roadmap that we aim to finalized soon. Our future program will focus on the education sector, with a special emphasis on formal, non-formal and inclusive education in selected rural municipalities where we have previously worked.
FyA is a global educational movement. Many countries are part of this movement. Each country has developed its own model to uplift vulnerable populations through education. We are in the process of creating a FyA model in Nepal that is contextually relevant and beneficial to the community we serve.
We understand that our vision of creating a new model will not emerge overnight and has a lot of challenges. We may face numerous hurdles, challenges and rejections. It may require change in our strategies and approaches to address the various challenges in the implementation of the program. However, our primary focus remains: to keep working with faith to make this movement a success in Nepal by bringing joy to the community we serve.
