This substantial contribution underscores Pathao Nepal’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its dedication to improving access to quality healthcare for children nationwide.
According to Sushchana Hamal, Director of Pathao Nepal, the donation is aimed at directly enhancing healthcare services for children across the country. “We’ve used our platform, technology, and network to contribute to this important social initiative. Pathao has always stood for positive change and the collective welfare of the community,” stated Director Hamal, emphasizing the company’s long-standing commitment to societal well-being.
The funds were meticulously raised through a special campaign titled “Ride for a Cause”. During this initiative, proceeds from rides taken between Jestha 27 and Asar 2 were collected. The accumulated amount was formally handed over to KIOCH during a special event held in Kathmandu.
This vital donation is specifically earmarked to support the construction and operation of much-needed child health facilities. These efforts are part of a visionary nationwide initiative led by Dr. Bhagwan Koirala, who is spearheading the establishment of dedicated children’s hospitals across all seven provinces of Nepal. Already, one such hospital has been completed in Jhapa, Koshi Province, with plans for more in Kathmandu and other remaining provinces firmly in motion.
Pathao Nepal believes that this significant contribution will not only directly assist in the treatment of underprivileged children but also play a crucial role in enhancing public awareness regarding child healthcare needs. Furthermore, it is expected to foster long-term collaborations aimed at improving the overall landscape of child healthcare in Nepal.
Representatives from both Pathao Nepal and KIOCH were present during the handover ceremony, marking a pivotal moment in this collaborative effort for the welfare of Nepalese children.
