Saturday, April 13, 2024

Himalaya Airlines‘ Annual “Step Towards Education” Campaign, in alignment with its core Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objective of Societal Responsibility, remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting Prayas Nepal. Since its inception in 2017, this initiative has served as a cornerstone of the company’s CSR endeavors, focusing on empowering underprivileged children through education.

In this year’s installment, conducted on April 10, 2024, at the onset of the academic year, Ms. Ujjwala Dali, Head of Department – Brand, spearheaded the distribution of essential educational materials to the children of Prayas Nepal. These materials included course books for various grades, notebooks, school bags, and school shoes.

Beyond the annual material support, Himalaya Airlines enriched the children’s educational experience by organizing a field trip to the Aviation Museum in Sinamangal, Kathmandu. This excursion aimed to provide the children with firsthand exposure to aviation history, igniting their curiosity and broadening their horizons beyond conventional classroom learning. During the visit, the children explored various aspects of aviation history, interacted closely with an Airbus A330-300 aircraft and a Fishtail Helicopter, and engaged with captivating flight demonstration videos. This immersive experience also included learning about global aviation history and admiring aerial views of Nepal’s landmarks, fostering a deeper appreciation for the aviation industry.

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 essential educational materials but also seeks to inspire and empower 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 Kathmandu has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on their minds. Such initiatives not only contribute to their academic growth but also broaden their horizons, opening doors to new possibilities.”
