Our Story
Born as an idea during our Master’s degree at the London School of Economics, Educase started out as a group project with people from different backgrounds, but with a united passion – access to quality education for all.
Due to our South Asian identities, we were aware of the challenges within Education in our home countries and felt motivated to give back to the under-served communities within them.
Using the principles of design thinking, we researched the issue of under-developed classrooms and felt inspired to find a solution to tackle this overlooked yet important issue.
Fast forward to today: after studying the realities on the ground, consulting key stakeholders, and exploring a variety of designs and materials, Educase is now serving under-resourced communities all around Nepal.
We are proud of our work till date, and believe that even simple steps have a significant positive social impact, by using innovation and empathy to empower communities in need.
