How we started
Manju Shree Primary School opened in 2023 in a traditional stone building in Patarasi-3, Jumla. Supported by local community members, Buddhist monks, and international partners, the school held a joyful opening ceremony that welcomed the village's children to a place built especially for them.
Just a few years in, the school is already home to a close-knit community of students, teachers, and volunteers. Kind individuals and local partners have stepped in to help make sure every student has the supplies they need.

Our Motto
Learn with wisdom, lead with compassion.
Education isn't just about gathering knowledge. It's about building wisdom and sound thinking. Good leadership starts with a compassionate heart, serving and guiding others so students grow into people who help not just themselves, but their whole community.
Our Aim & Goals
Everything we do is guided by four core commitments to our students and community.

Provide a well-rounded, affordable education regardless of a family's financial background.
Preserve our tradition and culture
Ensure the next generation stays connected to their roots, customs, and heritage, and takes pride in who they are.
Build confident, capable young people
Develop critical thinking, creativity, and life skills that prepare students for higher education and beyond.
Strengthen the community around the school
Partner with families and volunteers so no child goes without food, hygiene essentials, or school supplies.
