Empowering the Community

Our Pillars

After School Program

After-school programs are to enhance critical abilities in students and give extra support to improve their skills and understanding of subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English, and other subjects that students find difficult to understand. We run after-school academic programs in coordination with government schools with poor infrastructure and teacher shortages. Our programs are specially for children who cannot afford extra tutoring at home and whose parents are uneducated and unable to provide the best quality education for their children. Our carefully designed after-school program also provides teacher training to enhance and update their teaching styles in classrooms.

Scholarship Programs

Drawing on our founders’ stories, JBPS believes that no one should be deprived of education for being unable to finance their higher education. We at JBPS not only provide education to children but also believe in supporting their higher education. Our scholarship programs are for those in need of higher education. Specifically designed to support high school graduates in pursuing professional or technical courses, particularly through the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) or similar programs. The primary focus is on need-based criteria, helping students from poorer backgrounds, especially girls, Dalits (the lowest caste group in Nepal), and other economically underprivileged groups.

Yoga Center

Our yoga centre offers yoga training to students and teachers, as well as yoga campaigns designed to foster calmness and patience in learning and decision-making initiatives. Our highly trained, internationally recognized teachers from East Meets West Yog (EMWY) share diverse forms and principles of yoga with our students and community members

Community Engagement

Our community engagement programs empower underprivileged groups to become self-sufficient and active participants in their communities. We deliver impactful training sessions that equip them with the skills they need to succeed. These programs encompass a range of areas, including agriculture, handicrafts, the effective utilization of local resources for commercial purposes, digital literacy, and financial literacy. We also focus on green entrepreneurship, providing training that enables participants to create sustainable businesses and contribute to environmental stewardship. Additionally, we conduct empowerment sessions for women and marginalized community members, enlightening them about their rights and capabilities.

Environment and Agricultural Unit

Our environment and agricultural activities are designed to educate students about sustainability and environmental stewardship. This unit seeks to foster a sense of responsibility and awareness about global environmental and climate challenges, food security, green agriculture, and clean initiatives in students from an early age. Activities in the agricultural unit include workshops covering environmental and climate challenges, guest lectures from environmental and agriculture experts, campaigns like tree planting and clean-up in rural communities, and practical activities such as sustainable vegetable farming on JGBPS leased land. Field trips and nature exploration programs enhance a sense of responsibility in students to preserve the environment and biodiversity. Such activities include visits to national parks and wildlife reserves
