Stories from Nepal
School Project
In 2017 we set out to build an entire new school in Taplejung, Nepal. The existing school, Durga Secondary School, was in dire need of a reconstruction as the old and worn-out building was an unhealthy learning environment for the public schools’ 287 students. Two years later, a whole new school saw the light of day, celebrated with a big opening ceremony attended by the entire community, Human Practice Foundation, and the donors. The project was completed at a total cost of USD 73,000.
Coffee Programme
Farming is the main occupation in the Taplejung district in Nepal. Few farmers, however, manage to make a living from their crops. To help the local business community and entrepreneurs, we launched our Coffee Farming Programme to make sure local farmers can make their business profitable and gain access to foreign markets. So far, the programme has directly impacted the livelihoods of 3,500 people in Taplejung, who have turned their crops into a sustainable income source.
HPF IT Academy
The IT Academy in Phungling, Taplejung, is a school for students who have graduated 12th grade that want to pursue a digital career. Such an education has not been offered before in the district.
The IT Academy offers programmes in Graphic Design, Digital Marketing, and Web Development. The academy focuses on teaching digital skills within the three fields but also on entrepreneurship and relevant programs and platforms to use if you are a digital freelancer.
