OUR STORY
2022: The Kickstart
In 2022, Equity Bridge Nepal (EBN) was launched with the support of the Davis Projects for Peace Fellowship. This allowed us to initiate our pilot program, Project Sapana, aimed at transforming educational outcomes in Nepal. By the end of the year, Phase I was successfully completed, where we conducted career guidance sessions, digital literacy, soft skills, and financial literacy training at Kankali Secondary School. We also collaborated with Nepali tech companies to offer externships, giving students direct exposure to industry professionals.
2023: Expanding Impact
Building on the success of the pilot, 2023 saw the launch of Project Sapana (Phase II). We partnered with teachers from 15 public schools using a hybrid Training of Trainers (ToT) model. This approach, which included interactive classroom exercises, significantly improved student performance and engagement, broadening our impact across the region.
2024: Scaling Up
As we look to the future, 2024 marks a significant step forward for EBN. In Project Sapana (Phase III), we are collaborating with Canopy Nepal, whose expertise in public school education aligns perfectly with our vision. Additionally, our participation in the Harvard Innovation Labs' Social Impact Venture track has provided us with expert mentorship, helping us to effectively achieve our goals and create meaningful impact in the communities we serve.
