Machhapuchhre Capital Financial Literacy Program Completed
22nd January 2026, Kathmandu
Machhapuchchre Capital Limited has successfully completed a multi-faceted financial literacy and awareness program, combined with significant educational support initiatives, as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The program was organized on the occasion of the company’s sixth anniversary, marking six years of service in the capital market of Nepal. The dual-purpose initiative focused on improving financial awareness among the youth while providing tangible resources to educational institutions in need.
Machhapuchhre Capital Financial Literacy
As part of the initiative, Machhapuchchre Capital collaborated with the Lions Club of Kathmandu Namaste to identify and assist schools where support would have the highest impact. This collaboration allowed the company to reach both remote and urban students, addressing immediate physical needs and long-term educational goals.
Supporting Traditional Education
One of the primary support activities was conducted at Hemwateshwar Veda Vidyashram, a Gurukul located in Tadi Rural Municipality Ward No. 5, Atmara, Nuwakot. Gurukuls often face unique challenges in maintaining student welfare, and Machhapuchchre Capital stepped in to provide seasonal relief.
Students studying at the Gurukul received warm clothing and essential food items to help address their daily needs during the harsh winter season. This gesture was aimed at ensuring that the students could continue their traditional Vedic studies in comfort, reflecting the commitment of the company to preserving cultural heritage through social support.
Strengthening Digital Infrastructure: Shree Shriram Basic School
In addition to the support in Nuwakot, Machhapuchchre Capital extended its CSR efforts to Shree Shriram Basic School, located in Budhanilkantha Municipality Ward No. 4, Pasikot, Kathmandu. Recognizing the critical role of technology in modern education, the company donated three complete computer sets to the school.
The objective of this donation is to strengthen the digital learning infrastructure of the school. By providing these tools, Machhapuchchre Capital is helping to:
- Enhance students’ access to information technology (IT) resources.
- Promote foundational digital skills among primary-level students.
- Enable teachers to use modern educational software and digital materials.
- Prepare students for an increasingly tech-driven academic future.
Machhapuchchre Capital Financial Literacy and Awareness Sessions
Material support was only one half of the mission. Alongside the donations, Machhapuchchre Capital conducted specialized financial literacy and awareness programs at both institutions. These sessions were meticulously designed for students, teachers, and school staff, focusing on building a “money-smart” culture from the ground up.
The training covered essential financial concepts, including:
Responsible Money Management: Teaching students how to distinguish between needs and wants.
The Habit of Saving: Encouraging small, regular savings from an early age to build future security.
Basic Financial Planning: Introducing the idea of setting goals and budgeting.
Capital Market Awareness: Explaining the role of investment and the basic functions of the stock market in a simplified manner.

By empowering both students and educators with this knowledge, Machhapuchchre Capital aims to foster long-term financial independence within these communities.
Impact on the Learning Environment
The company has expressed strong confidence that these contributions will lead to a more effective and technology-oriented classroom environment. According to the management of Machhapuchchre Capital, the provision of clothing and food ensures the physical well-being of the students, while the digital tools provide them with the “practical wings” needed to excel.
In an economy that is rapidly moving toward digital banking and online investment, these early-stage interventions are crucial. The computer donation program is expected to significantly boost the digital confidence of the students, making them more competitive as they progress to higher education.
