What started as a dream in 2014 first blossomed into a heroic effort of 122 individuals who recognized the value of a center dedicated to leadership and education. Their backing helped establish the foundation of a thriving learning community, Learning House. Computers were purchased, furniture was built, books filled shelves, and we opened our doors in Pokhara, Nepal.
With additional support from The Pollination Project and U.S. Embassy Nepal, a committed and very dedicated core team, enthusiastic volunteers, and a group of good-hearted individuals, a movement began:
Our library expanded;
Over 1318 students enrolled in classes;
Barista training flourished;
Over 338 workshops, seminars, leadership experiences such as camps and discussions have taken place;
150+ guests from around the world have exchanged conversation, cultures, and ideas;
Scholarships supported deserving young people’s higher education and career goals;
2600+ participants have attended in-house seminars and trainings;
Over 900 hours of free individual counseling and advising services have been offered;
80+ leaders met their dreams of pursuing education or employment abroad;
And over 29 community programs such as the Outdoor Film Festival, Latte Art Competitions, Service Programs, and Education Days reached even more members within our community.
Five years.
Leadership skills and confidence fueling leaders within our nation and across the world.
Goals reached and exceeded.
Students standing taller, speaking with pride, and finding the strength to step in and speak out for themselves, their families, and for their communities.
To our community and to our friends:
Thank you.
Learning House wouldn’t be the home it is without you.
Thank you for helping us along this journey.
For shaping this space.
For sharing your trust, your time, your hopes, and your support.
For mirroring our own energy and hard work and love.
As we like to say, “Our house is your home.”
Let’s celebrate together. We have so much to be thankful for.
The Learning House Team
