Himalaya Airlines' annual "Step Towards Education" campaign

KATHMANDU, April 10:Himalaya Airlines continued their annual contribution to Prayas Nepal through the "Step Towards Education" program, in keeping with its fundamental CSR purpose of Societal Responsibility. Since 2017, this initiative has been a keystone of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives to empower impoverished children through education.

This year, the annual activity was carried out at the beginning of the academic session; on April 10,2024, Ms. Ujjwala Dali, Head of Department – Brand, handed over the essential educational materials, including various grades’ course books, notebooks, school bags, and school shoes to the children of Prayas Nepal.

In addition to the annual support, to enrich the children’s knowledge and to give them a brief understanding of the aviation history, Himalaya Airlines organized a field trip to the Aviation Museum located at Sinamangal Kathmandu. By providing the underprivileged children the first-hand exposure to the world of aviation, H9 aimed to ignite their curiosity, and broaden their horizons beyond the traditional classroom learning. Appreciating the Airlines’ philanthropic cause, Aviation Museum supported H9’s CSR activity with Free of Charge entrance and a well guided tour for the children.

Ms. Ujjwala Dali expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, "At Himalaya Airlines, we believe in the transformative power of experiential education in shaping future leaders and fostering a passion for exploration and learning. We are committed to creating opportunities for the underprivileged children and our 'Step Towards Education' campaign not only aims to provide educational materials’ support but also seeks to inspire and guide the children through unique experiences of knowledge gaining and sharing."

Ms. Mani Joshi, President - Prayas Nepal, shared her appreciation remarking, "We are deeply grateful to Himalaya Airlines for their unwavering support towards our cause; the field trip to the Aviation Museum has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on their minds. Such initiatives not only contribute to their academic growth but also broaden their horizons, opening the doors to new possibilities."
