Kathmandu : With the start of the Ncell Nepal Super League (NSL) Season 3 on March 29, the Ncell Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to education and community empowerment by pledging to donate 25 educational kits for every goal scored during the season.
This initiative aligns with the Foundation’s social philosophy and emphasizes its dedication to bridging the gap in education, especially in remote schools across the country.
In line with its mission to support education and uplift communities, the Ncell Foundation will distribute educational kits to community schools nationwide, symbolically linking football goals to the goal of educational growth.
From the Ncell NSL matches played till Tuesday, the Foundation has already ensured the distribution of 275 educational kits, following a total of 11 goals scored in the NSL matches. Each educational kit contains essential supplies such as school bags, notebooks, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, and other materials aimed at addressing resource shortages and enhancing the learning experience for students in underserved communities.
“Football has a deep connection with our community, and through this initiative, we aim to transform the excitement of the game into meaningful support for students in need, ultimately advancing their journey toward accessible education,” said Bishakha Lakshmi Khadka, Director of Ncell Foundation and Special Projects at Ncell. “We wish all the players in the Nepal Super League the best of luck and look forward to seeing more goals scored for this important cause.”
This isn’t the first time Ncell Foundation has tied sports performance to educational aid. During the recent Nepal Premier League (NPL) held in December, the Foundation committed to donating four educational kits for every four scored during the matches. As a result, Ncell Foundation is distributing a total of 2,612 educational kits for 653 boundaries hit in the NPL. To date, the Ncell Foundation has distributed over 5,000 kits to students from 42 government schools across Nepal.
Following the conclusion of the NSL, the Foundation will collaborate with local bodies and other stakeholders to distribute the educational kits to schools in need. Through this initiative, the Ncell Foundation continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to social responsibility, using football as a platform to drive positive change in education and community development.
Ncell Foundation is committed to uplifting Nepal and its people through impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Its vision is to foster an inclusive and sustainable Nepal while contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Aligned with Ncell’s theme, ‘Here for You,’ the Foundation actively engages in development efforts, addressing local needs through initiatives in Education, Health, Environment, Disaster Preparedness and Response, and other community development activities.
