Community Education
Scholarships for tuition and related school expenses for children of economically vulnerable families.
About the Trust
Established in 2014 by the Chitawon Co-E Group in memory of its Late Chairman, the Laxman Babu Shrestha Memorial Trust is dedicated to the support of Nepali community welfare through advocacy and implementation of effective social, environmental, health and economic services.
As the majority of the company’s related works are based outside the valley, we identified a significant gap in accessible welfare services in the out of valley regions. Therefore, the trust has centred developmental efforts in the greater Gorkha region, a comparably remote area which houses more vulnerable community members.
The trust is a registered non-profit organization with the following objectives:
Provide scholarship for tuition and related school expenses to children of economically vulnerable families to attend school.
Provide scholarship to children of economically vulnerable families for vocational training such as plumbing, carpentry, electrician, overseer, and engineering.
Provide aid to affected communities in times of natural disaster.
Provide financial assistance for construction of schools, religious and cultural places and temples, etc. within the Kathmandu valley.
Collect and utilize funds donated by Nepalese living abroad and foreign donors, according to the objective of this trust.
Provide physical and financial assistance to social, religious, cultural, educational, spiritual, economic, and charitable services within the Nepalese society.
Improve the lives and well-being of children who live below the poverty line, children who are deprived of basic education and health care services, and children who have lost their mother and/or father due to poverty, by providing them with physical and financial assistance as well by any other suitable means.
