A personal note from Iman
A personal note from Iman
Everything we do at GrowYourAgency.com is governed by our simple - yet incredibly complex and demanding - mission statement:

To reform the education system.

On a day-to-day basis, this means providing genuinely valuable and effective education that is truly accessible. 

But occasionally, we get to do something truly exceptional. Today is one of those days, and I am really quite excited to announce our partnership with and charitable donation to the Pahar Trust to build our first school in Nepal, the Panchkoshi Secondary School in Arthar, Parbat. 

To say we’re delighted, proud, and humbled is an understatement. 

This is an incredible project, but it’s also just the start. The start of our work with this charity and school, the start of our commitment to other charitable and social causes, and the start of our mission to reform the education system. 

I can’t wait to share what’s next.

The Education System Is Broken
At GrowYourAgency.com, we help our students build their own marketing agencies. With the best will in the world, this is a thousand miles away from basic, formal education, especially in the developing world. 

And yet, we believe our role in reforming the education system goes one step further than providing the best online learning platform in the world. 

It means adopting a ‘full circle’ approach to education and fixing one of the root causes of inequality in the education system: formal primary and secondary education.

Nepal
Nepalese children face significant hurdles to access even basic education.

In 2016, the UN Human Development Report ranked Nepal 133 out of 188 measured countries in the Human Development Index, placing the country in the lowest band for human development in the world. 

80% of the population live in rural or non-urban communities, presenting yet another barrier to education. 

Further to this, when the major earthquake hit Nepal in 2015, over 8,500 schools and 30,000 classrooms were destroyed. 

Whilst 1,600 schools have since been rebuilt, there are still thousands of children with no access to safe educational facilities. 
The Pahar Trust
In early 2019, we began talks with the Pahar Trust, a charity operating primarily in the mid-western foothills and the far-east of Nepal. 

The organization was founded by two former Queen's Gurkha Engineers, Tom Langridge MBE and Chandra Bahadur Gurung. 

Since the construction of their first school in 1991, the charity has gone on to help over 40,000 students, providing 656 classrooms and building or renovating over 152 schools. 

One of the most exceptional elements of the charity’s work is their attention to detail and focus on sustainability: their schools are constructed to be resistant to earthquakes, and their projects require input and commitment from the areas in which they are built. 

The Project
The current Panchkoshi Secondary School provides education to 315 students from pre-school to 17-years-old. 

Whilst the school is well-attended and receives funding for 18 teachers from the government, many of the facilities are in a state of disrepair and require improvement, replacement and strengthening against the impact of earthquakes. 

Our project with the Pahar Trust will involve demolition of an existing single-storey 4-room building and replacing it with a new, 2-storey, 6-room building proving a spacious and safe learning environment for the students. 
Our Work Together
As well as funding the project, GrowYourAgency.com will also seek to foster close ties with both the Pahar Trust and the local community in Arthar. 

True education reform doesn’t involve one-off charity donations, and nor does the Pahar Trust’s work. 

We look forward to visiting the site to review construction and meet the members of the community to see the impact the project will have.
